Since it opened I've been in a few times. They do have a really nice produce section as well as a variety of things you might not find at regular stores (special vitamins, essential oils etc.). Unfortunately they don't have a lot of things on my grocery list and every time I've gone in, I end up having to still run into Albertsons across the street to pick up things they didn't have. Some of their prices are really good and other things are priced super high. For example, I think that regular Dryer's ice cream was $5.99 the last time I was there whereas you can get it at the regular store for $2.99 on sale. Because it's a smaller store, there isn't a lot of selection either. Like with the ice cream example, let's say you go to Albertsons (or Smiths or Vons) and the Dryers is not on sale - you can usually find a generic or another brand that is a cheap price. Not so here. I just could't bring myself to pay $6 for a small carton of ice cream and every other brand was just as expensive. Similar experience with butter. Every type was way over-priced. Like double what I normally pay. The Sprouts brand was the only one that was priced half way decently (still more than I usually pay) but they were all out. They were out of several brands of milk as well and a few that I picked up expired on the day I was shopping. Last time I was there I was in the mood for some bagged salad- just the crappy iceburg kind, but every bag of it looked brown. The first couple times I went in, the employees were super friendly and helpful. The last time I went in, I dealt with an off shift employee still in her uniform shopping with her husband and rudely pushing her way around the store, cutting me off etc. and when I got in line, the cashier was busy talking to another employee as was the bagger (they had 2 different conversations going on). I felt like I was disturbing them by being there. Neither said a word to me during the whole transaction. At any rate, I just feel as though this store didn't live up to all the hype surrounding it. I might drop in if I'm only needing one or two items and I need to get in and out fast, but it will not be where I do my regular shopping for sure."^^ . "2017-10-18T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ .
