Is it totally weird that I'm excited about a new grocery store? Well I am. I've shopped at Market Baskets in the past and when in the area of one, often stop in for anything we 'may' need. Now that one is nearby, I am thrilled! There are plenty of grocery store options in our area, and we shop at several, but this one makes me so happy. The staff are always polite and helpful, the shelves well stocked and the prices good.
We stopped in on opening day and every aisle has managers and other staff available. Every shelf was 'faced' (all the items pulled to the front so they look nice), every register open and the store busy. Out front they have a large selection of annuals and other plants for your garden and there is a register out there so you can purchase them separately before or after your food shopping. There is also a small fresh flower selection inside, over by produce.
The set up is just like most other Market Baskets if you've been to one. If not, Aisle 1 starts with dairy, eggs, bacon, hot dogs, with cold cuts, cheeses and seafood along the back. Meats run along the rest of that back wall and in refrigerator cases in the middle of this wide back aisle. Produce is located in the last couple of aisles, just past frozen foods. At the front end of produce are pre-made food items including sandwiches, pizza, salads, and others. This store does not have a liquor license like some MB's do. It's a state thing.
There is a limited number of organic produce items, a large wall of bread items and so much in the middle one lovely woman I chatted with was so overwhelmed she was beside herself with the available selection. It's the prices that get me excited, especially on their own MB items and the quality is good.
I definitely have a 'favorite' store for grocery shopping, and as I was already sourcing items they don't carry from other neighbors, I don't think they will mind if I make MB my new 'go to' for those other things. I'm really quite excited they are in the neighborhood! You should go check them out.
