Essentials
This is no ordinary grocery story. It is gourmet food on steroids! Looking for aged beef? They have it. Looking for specialty cheese? They have it. Looking for a specialty food ingredient you have a hard time finding? They likely have it or will order it. Prices are higher than an average grocery store so this isn't a "stock the staples" type place but it is so fun to shop at for those special things. It is brand new and SOOOO fun to go to. Complete with dining and a full service bar.
