That's what they get for not coming up with cookie butter first.

Well I still do all my grocery shopping there. Unless I forgot something, in which case I'll walk down the street to the normal grocery store quickly.

The only store I've been to that I like more than Whole Foods is Wegmanns.

Overpriced. Supposedly fresher fish and meat but their produce was overrated. Same brands as other chains in the area but higher prices.

I dealt with them on the construction end and can see why they're failing.

I have never been impressed with their meat and fish for the price.

"Whole Foods is over priced"

From the same crowd that calls anyone driving a BMW 5-Series a "poor" because it's not an M5.

ETA: not calling you out specifically, geauxtigers87, just a general mentality of the OT.

The one in Baton Rouge prints money.

I would guess that some suburban stores in larger metros with multiple locations may be at risk.

They've been renovating an old grocery store in Hoover for literally over a year and it's still not open.

I haven't even seen anything about them hiring staff so they must still not be that close. The outside only just looked it was done about a month ago. I think they even bought the whole little strip because they're redoing the whole thing in their style. Wonder if that'll fall through now.

I'm not arguing with you because I've never researched this, but link?

Also, this is the OT. We pay extra to avoid the average Wal Mart clientele.

They have a store they just built in Irving. The store has been finished since fall 2016 but still hasn't opened. I've been wandering what is causing the delay.

Sprouts beats the shite out of whole paycheck. Produce and meat is just as good and fresh, but without the social aspect. Why the frick would Anybidy want to spend two hours grocery shopping? Only thing better about Whole Foods is all the fine arse milfs walking around.
