If you're buying grocery items, yeah. It's like whole foods,

that's the problem with these "specialty" type grocery stores, you have to go to 3-4 of them to do your shopping because none of them have decent quality/prices on everything that you need, and Whole Foods can suck a dick, the only thing they have going for them is a bar

Yep, even with landscaping I'm not sure how you can make it look much better. It's a massive windowless concrete wall


Why don’t you at least let them build it before you start shitting on it? You Baton Rouge Sucks! people amaze me.

I never really go on big shopping runs, but every store I go to is within a few blocks from each other. Central market, Tom thumb, sprouts, whole foods, and Target are walkable for me.

I’m sure it will look nice. The other Sprouts look nice.

The setback seems a little short for that neighborhood.

Always enjoy the Sprouts in Houston. Great produce and food at much more affordable prices than Whole Foods or Trader Joes.

It is built. And it still looks like shite to be so close to Perkins and run the length of the lot. I don't give a shite about the actual grocery store, just think it's poor planning on rouzans part

me either but if I'm making a really nice meal and want certain things for it, I can never get it all in one place

. Central market, Tom thumb,


those plus Kroger, and occasionally Sprouts, typically make up my circuit

That's when I don't care about the cheapest price and just buy it in one place. Cmkt or TT usually do the trick.

I like Kroger, but ours doesn't have a gas station so I go to Tom thumb.

same, it's just there is a quality difference from store to store on certain things, I could give a shite about what it costs, drives the old lady crazy

I usually make shopping decisions on which store has the best quality produce and meat. I am not stopping and multiple stores to save a few bucks. For dry foods and other more commoditized stuff, I use a delivery service or Amazon Pantry.

Tom thumb does the best job for me at variety and quality.

Didn't know that.

When did they move/close? I thought the one on Magazine was the older one.
