This place was good for a long time, but in recent months it has gone way downhill! Prices have always been terrible, so that’s nothing new. Problem is, you used to get a premium experience for that price. They renovated and have made the displays uglier and harder to navigate (no bulk candy station). They regularly stop carrying things, and they let broken things go unrepaired for years (see the back cooler, for example). Those little things all add up, but the thing that makes me just want to skip this place is what they’ve done with the hot bar: I used to be able to come here for dinner at 6pm and get a great selection. A few months ago they started closing the hot bar at 4pm. Today I was there at 1:15pm and they had already closed ⅓ of the hot bar, leaving mostly just the foods that come from the deep fryer. The middle station was half empty and completely picked over. They seem to want to clean up and put things away earlier and earlier, meaning you have to endure the high school lunch crowd just to get a decent selection of hot foods. Did someone who formerly owned this place sell it to someone who just wants to bleed it of all quality while continuing to raise prices and charge for a premium grocery store? If you’re going to charge these prices, fine. But the quality and selection has slid so much that it’s just not a premium experience like it used to be. Sad to see this place go so far downhill so fast!
(One thing that thankfully hasn’t changed is the friendliness of the cashiers. They are great!)
