A New Store

A new Whole Foods has opened up in the area, I popped in to have a look on the weekend. It was exciting to see the CityTV news crew there filming a segment. I made sure to sample one of the Belgian chocolates that were being featured near the bakery area. It's a huge new store, I hope it does well. It will depend on whether the demographic is willing to pay more for organic and healthy food items.

M got this tub of guacamole a couple of nights ago, it's really delicious but it was $10! The tortilla chips were fresh made in store too. I think I had better start making my own guacamole.

  1. There's a Whole Foods store in a ritzy area of Honolulu. David and I shopped there only once. The food was okay, but the store is inconvenient to get to for us, so that's why we haven't been back.

  2. We have a chain of stores like that here Christine. The food is out of this world but it comes at a price. I would have stood near the Belgian chocolates for some time Christine. I mean you really need to taste about five at least before deciding if they are worth purchasing, no? :-)

  3. That's great. We have a whole foods here, and it's great but it's one of those stores when you go in, expect to spend A FORTUNE! I went in last week for spices and I spent way too much! hee, but the food is good!

  4. If you watch prices, you can get things at Whole Foods for the same (or sometimes lower!) prices then other stores. I started out getting only a few things there, but over the past few years that list has gotten longer.

    (Although, since Son #3 is employed there, I don't mind paying a few extra pennies for things!)

  5. We don't have a whole foods store in my area but I've always wanted to go to one. Cool that you have one. ;-)

  6. We don't have a Whole Foods. Wish we did, it would be nice to have access to a wider variety of organic foods.
    And the chocolate looks yummy!
