Anyone know about this? I just saw an advertisement for this in 225 Magazine.

LINK

Seems to be the local version of Whole Foods. This is the first I've heard of it. I did a search and couldn't find anything.

I don't really have a question Just wanted to see if anyone else knew about this/inform those who haven't.

Been discussed on here a few times

Family runs a old country store in st amant

Looks like they have picked up the pace on construction after a very slow start

Looking forward to it opening

It is being constructed slower than I-10 is getting widened. I think Martini has commented on it a few times.

Doubt they make that date. Think they have Two Guys In Shorts Construction building it. Pyramids were built faster.

Yea, seems aggressive based on the cursory assessments I've taken of their progress. That was only four days ago they announced the date though.

Same family that has Murray's Superette in St. Amant. I almost always get my jambalaya supplies from them when I'm doing a big batch or competition. Very fresh produce and good meats for a little place in the country, glad they are coming (slowly) to my part of the world.

Murray's has very very good hog head cheese, smoked sausage, boudin and specialty sausages. I would think they will have this there as well. And as stated he has all the jambalaya ingredients such as temple meat.

I wish I had saved it, but months back when the sign went up I googled them and found the architectural plans with store layout. I want to say they had several deli/prepared food sections on it.

They were here but are now gone. Ah well...sounds like just a few months to wait and see for ourselves.

Again, hopefully they've got craft beer in mind as well.

I have a set in my office. Apparently I wasn't low bidder.Which at the rate it's getting built is a very good thing.

I haven't driven past it in a month or so, but they didn't appear to be breaking any land speed records. I wonder if they have outparcels planned for that corner.
