Has anyone been there yet?
What was it like?
How are their prices as compared to other groceries?
The quality of their products- bakery/sushi/ takeout etc
(Bonus-And do they do home deliveries ? )

Thx

I was there just to look around a little (they don't take EBT yet, so didn't shop much). My impressions:
Takeout looked really good,
bakery had some interesting/different things we actually tried 2- 1 was great the other not so great
Large selection of prepared meats/apps. Ready to cook- with decent prices
Didn't really check other prices too much, but the sales were good

Same here chayalle. Working middle class amd no food stamps. I always wonder if prices would be cheaper if there were no food stamps. I feel like pple that are on it dont care as much about prices.

Of course they would! The cashier in the coop told me not to take the large eggs and only buy the xl eggs since the large eggs are marked up for WIC.

I've had the same happen to me. I don't buy WIC eligible products at local grocery stores.

THanks for the answers- does anyone know how to see their sales? Do they deliver yet and if so- with what restrictions ( I.e. Seasons charges $5, gourmet glatt won't deliver for less than $75 non sale purchase which is nuts...)
Hoping they have a better policy

Interesting. I thought wic covered the lower priced stuff... and that's why they only allow large eggs and certain brands.
Op I went to evergreen last week. Nice store, smaller than the others. They have everything though. Good prices.

Glad to hear it. I was there Wed and they said it might take a couple of weeks. (When Seasons opened it did take a while till they took it).
I'll have to go back and check it out again. (My DD has OT at theratots-across the street- so I'll take advantage and get some shopping done)
