They have some great items but there are a few problems, some serious, that they need to work out:
1) Some of the employees have issues. One woman kept cutting me off as I went around the store. One guy sent me to a manager who was actually another shopper. The same guy manned the front table and was hostile when I presented my coupon and asked if there were any keychains left.
2) The focaccia from La Gemma is incredibly stale.
3) The local grape tomatoes were old, so I could only use about 1/4 of my pint. The ones on the outside looked good.
4) not enough room in the aisles for people with carts.
5) parking.
6) not as much local produce as I'd thought there would be - not even local greens.
The store is a great idea. I hope they get it together.
Growing pains
