I was skeptical to go into this supermarket because the outside is pretty worn down. It's definitely not bright & flashy on the outside like the large chains. But remember that looks are only skin deep and we should never judge a book by its cover. I am glad I didn't judge this store by its cover because inside was next-level grocery store. No, it still wasn't bright and flashy. Instead, it was well-stocked & everything seemed to be organized by the cultural origin of the food. They had a frozen Indian food section that was an entire wall long, they had another wall of frozen halal food, & a section for Mexican foods. Being inside, felt like a mini United Nations. I am unaware of another local store where you can quickly grab tortilla chips made at the store, frozen naan, & something Halal to top it off. They also sell lots of cookware & a few other cultural non-food products. I don't eat meat but they seemed to also have a busy large meat counter. In this time of scarcity of certain products at several major local chains, I found plenty of eggs & also, toilet paper at this store. They are currently selling up to 15 dozen eggs for $42.99 which works out to about $2.86/dozen. Since eggs are out at so many stores, it's not a bad idea to buy the 15 dozen & split it between families. The lines went quickly too. I was very pleased with the cultural diversity of the products, the music playing, the short lines, & of course, that I got what I needed to where I will definitely consider the across town drive to be able to get what I need at reasonable prices. Also, they had a woman grilling something that smelled really delicious out front so I might go back just to try her food. I am not sure if this is a chain but I think it might be locally owned which would make it the best ever. Shop local & at the least, shop smaller chains whenever possible.
