"The grocery chain's seafood section began carrying packaged salmon hot dogs from a Norwegian producer, which the writer cooked at home; the salmon dogs were dense and savory, with a cheese variety that added flavor without oozing, and overall felt closer to a conventional meat hot dog than to lighter, hybrid seafood creations like Dear Annie's Sea Dog." - Bettina Makalintal
"A nationwide grocery chain that will stock the new refillable EVOO beer cans, giving shoppers an easy in-store option for purchasing metal refill containers alongside online availability. Carrying the cans broadens access to a non-plastic alternative for customers concerned about plastic’s effects on olive oil quality or microplastics, and supports the brand’s effort to preserve oil integrity through metal packaging." - Bettina Makalintal
"This grocery chain has become a key outlet for formerly online-first food brands seeking shelf space and broader discovery, reflecting research that most shoppers (aside from Gen Z) find new products in stores rather than online." - Bettina Makalintal
"An offshoot of a national organic-grocery chain that opened in Independence Heights on August 22; the store offers organic groceries and a large cheese selection and includes in-store food and drink partners, such as drinks from Austin juice bar Juice Society and prepared eats from local Peli Peli." - Amy McCarthy
"I've learned that Whole Foods 365, the more affordable sibling to the original organic-focused Whole Foods, will open its first Houston location in Independence Heights and make its debut on August 22; designed as a streamlined version of its predecessor, it will offer a pared-down selection of organic groceries, pastured meats, sustainable seafood, and grab-and-go options, and it will also house two Texas restaurants inside the store." - Amy McCarthy
