"Have recently switched to shopping in this store- even though it's further away than my closest supermarkets-of-a-different-name because...\n-Love their wide variety of cheeses- (definitely the place to go if you're putting together a cheese platter - I'd say even better than Trader's), \n-Many wine varieties with 20% off of 6 purchased wines (try their \"Provincial\" boxed wine, it's a decent wine especially when bought at the 20% off price-and I have only ever seen it here)- speaking of wines, they have a free in-store speedy wine chiller, what great service/attention to detail. \n-Their produce is typically beautiful and lots of organic options mostly at competitive prices. IME their produce seems to \"keep\" longer than other stores, too. \n-Their meat department has good sales and specials also serving lots of organic options.\n\nOverall, their prices are competitive across the board. In fact, I processed an on-line grocery order and compared the same order to Von's delivery service- it was a savings of 25% for the whole order before any service fees! SO LET'S TALK about online ordering- place your order online and your first 3 curbside pickups are FREE. So convenient!! After that, the $4.95 fee still looks pretty good, when you consider their sales and deals on groceries, etc.. also recommend opting in for their emails & check around on-line before ordering, because seasonally or randomly I'll get coupon codes for $10, $20 off if an order-over-a-certain-amount. The savings in shopping time is worth it enough, then you're in the bonus round if you get the codes!\n\nThe ambiance and layout are great if you are shopping in-store- it's light and bright. The staff literally offer a smile from the minute you walk in. There's a genuine brightness throughout, which makes for a pleasant experience.\n \nAnother favorite feature are the bins/wholesale dispensers; you can measure only what you need, which keeps our family from wasting, that all too often happens with granolas and such. Plus, you can find a large variety of non-prepackaged items in their bins that you can't typically find in the usual groceries. And last, their olive bar is always looking *fresh*, very clean- try their dolmas, their green olives are a better deal, more variety and better quality than the bottled versions, and their marinated artichokes are another fave. \n\nWe order sushi platters for parties a few times a year- really can't be more convenient, great service & great quality- I highly recommend customizing a platter.\n\nOverall, it seems like they've found a good way to merge all of my favorite things from multiple other stores into this one, so it's become more of a one-stop shop. Used to have 3-5 stores to stop in throughout the week to get our family's favorite- Organics, cheeses, specialty items and wines from Traders, organic produce and wholesale bins/cereals from Spouts, deli meats/bakery and grocery deals in Walmart, Von's for sushi, Glaziers for last minute needs close to home - any who, I have found comparable or better here at competitive pricing, so I really couldn't be happier."^^ .
