content: After shopping on-and-off here for nearly 5-years, it's time for a quick update, and a slight downgrade.\n\n- Parking lot. Always cramped, especially when they park a 53' long refrigerated semi trailer or some other type of temporary something-or-another across one entire row of parking stalls. Most recent visit yielded exactly zero open parking spots for the entire lot... granted, it was NYE, but crikey.\n\n- Produce quality. Not sure what it is, but the produce has been on a fairly steady decline for a while now. Lots of shriveled peppers and wrinkly tomatoes... anemic asparagus... brownish limes. \n\n- Pricing. I grabbed a small package of cremini mushrooms and almost had a heart attack when they rang-up as $4.99 for 8oz. The *exact same brand* can be purchased at Woodman's (yes, organic, and yes - the exact same brand) for $1.99. A single red bell pepper was $4.29 here as well. No thanks.\n\n- Cramped aisles. Always hard to navigate through/around; worse when it's busy or when they are restocking things.\n\n- Salad bar. I challenge you to find protein on the salad bar. I'm a guy who likes a little chicken or turkey or ham on his salad... I've scoured that thing a dozen times and cannot find any meats anywhere. If I'm missing them, someone tell me.\n\n+ Samples. Everyone knows how great the free samples here are.\n\n+ Meat department. It's improved! I've been teaching grilling classes for most of the summer, and this is my primary source for those grilling goods. There's an older butcher there who is superb - very helpful and knowledgeable. \n\n+ Bakery. So good. Lots of sinful treats to choose from - all look and taste delish.\n\n+ Staff. Always friendly, always helpful. \n\nThe biggest reasons for the downgrade? Size, produce, and pricing. My last visit cost $39.73; had I purchased the same stuff from Willy Street or Woodman's, I guarantee it would've been under/around $20. I find myself shopping here less and less often because of this.
