Brand new inside. Clean and well stocked.
Great meat section ! Nice salad bar and deli. Weekly special for meat. Got some great steaks for a great price.
Keep an eye on produce and fruit. Found some rotten apples in a bag. Otherwise it's great and I'll be back !

Went in for the first time to check it out and found the prices as high as Metro in SOME cases . Bought fresh Italian buns which were well priced and very good but would only buy bread at this store . The lady at the cash not too friendly seemed unhappy , maybe shouldn’t be around the public ? I thought maybe give it another shot as I need fresh bread .., great bread but the ladies at the cash once again have no customer service skills . That’s a shame because it can tarnish any business. I hope the owner of the store takes some action for their employees.

There is always an unpleasant smell in this store, the meat after buying it the next day seems to be no longer fresh. Dairy products are expired, and if there is a good expiration date, then the lids in sour cream are swollen, this happened probably 4 purchases in a row, so I assume that the refrigerators are either broken or cannot cope with cooling or the temperature is not correct. Be careful, I do not recommend buying dairy and meat products. And also about their pizza that they cook there. The sausage is green in the frozen pizza, and in the cooked ones, they keep the pizza warm for several days in a row. And it does not look good and safe, but they do not take it off the shelves, it is very strange

almost all cashiers are not polite, either rude or don't greet

I'm a strong believer in the phrase “If it ain't broke, don't fix it’. Of course the whole place did need fixing after the fire and after 19 months of waiting I was pretty excited to see what it was gonna look like
I went in a few days after opening and was quite impressed with the look of the place and the fact that that stinky meat smell was gone. Nice and bright and better laid out than it was before but the huge disappointment was in the deli section.

This used to be the go to place to get a good inexpensive sandwich. Unfortunately that's changed. Not only has the quality of the sandwiches changed but the price has skyrocketed.

The sandwich area is now jammed in the corner which is bad enough for customers but even their staff are all crammed in there trying to make sandwiches. To my mind there's no reason why these things have gone up 30% in price. Even Costco was smart enough to realize that the one of the big sellers - and reasons people go in there - is their 1.50 hotdog. Even with rising costs, that never changed. You can't tell me that their costs have gone up so significantly that that the one thing that brought people in was the one thing they decided to charge out of sight. I'm sure the cost of the renovations was covered by the insurance so I don't get why they had to raise the sandwich prices so high.

Given the cramped area that everybody has to work in, the staff there is even more disaffected than they were prior to the fire. They are having to work around each other which slows the service. They are not the friendliest in the first place so you make it worse by piling them on top of each other.

Secondly, how hard is it to put up a sign and demarcation lines so you know where to line up for sandwiches?

Like most posters have said, not likely the place I would go to do my shopping and now probably not the place I'll go for a sandwich. What a disappointment.
