Edinburgh Festival Centre — Attraction in Brooklyn Park

Festival is one of those places that can't decide what it wan't to be. It's larger than your average Mom & Pop shop, but not anywhere near the size of something like Cub foods, which in turn leaves Festival with a somewhat limited selection of brands and items. But for most of us that's not really an issue, most of us enjoy those middle of the road type places. But what really gets to me about this particular location is that on multiple occasions I have purchased items that were moldy. Two of those times being with bagels and English muffins.

The prices aren't terrible, and the Essential Everyday they carry is awesome. That brand alone is worth stickin' around for.

I go to Festival Foods from time to time, but I don't buy all of my weekly groceries there.

Steel cut Irish oatmeal, yup and you don't have to walk the length and breadth of a warehouse to find it. If you can't find it, ask. The staff are only too happy to help. If they still don't have it, the manager will probably order it in for you. Boom! Customer service!...
