Long-time regulars here know that I live in a grocery challenged area. There's a really crappy low-end market about 10 miles away called Cost Cutter whose offerings are everything that name could imply, and two better choices in the suburbs about 15 miles distant. Town, with all the best choices and where I do the majority of my shopping, is around 25. So the opening of a new grocery store just 6 miles away AND at our freeway exit is major excitement indeed. What we know is that it's going to be "a full service grocery store, but it'll be unique to this area...a specialty store...with features the only found on the East Coast." It'll be operated and managed by a local chain who in fact also own the dreadful Cost Cutter, but who also have a brand of higher end stores (which, however, fail at being as good as they want them to be--all the management seem to be locally raised and quite provincial in their idea of what 'high end' means--it's like none of them have even been to a Whole Foods). Whatever, this new store, they say, will be a big step above that.
So finally, we'll have a store to run out to quickly if we run out of something important, like normal people do, or stop at when we get off the freeway to come home. No matter what it is, in other words, it will be a heavenly convenience. It's cool though that they're going to try to create something unique.
Even if we don't understand what that might mean. So tell me, East Coasters, what might "features only found on the East Coast" be?
