I haven’t been to the new Whole Foods yet over in the Short Pump area. Frankly that area is a train wreck of traffic and it takes me at least 40 minutes to get there from my house. Trader Joe’s is opening in a week in the same area so, perhaps, we’ll hit both of them later in October when the insanity of TWO NEW COOL GROCERIES! opening calms down.
I will say that the ripple effect has already started and I am so glad. I’ve only been able to find Fage yogurt in far away lands and over the weekend I saw it in two regular, been in Richmond for years, grocery stores. I bought a container and have been enjoying the heck out of it for breakfast. I buy the plain and mix my homemade granola into it. What a thickly delicious way to start the day. So thanks Whole Food for finally coming to town. I’ll see you in a month or two, but until then, I’ll enjoy what you are making other stores do. Gracias.
I’d love to see either one of those stores in this area. Our grocery choices are pretty slim.
