Went to Whole Foods with the variety of lovely fresh produce and some items at bargain prices. There is also a variety of healthy household cleaning, supplements and beauty care products. The store has a wonderful selection of cheeses, meats, and quick grab foods. With a small bar to aid in your shopping experience. The store has a bakery with freshly made breads, a deli counter and a huge selection of take away foods. The food bars have everything from soups, salads and entrees. Vegetarian and meat lovers delight because they have it all. There are also completed entries, desserts and sides in the refrigerated section. A small bulk food with a variety of items from healthy grains to candy and coffee. There is also a sushi counter to pick up quick items as well. The side anchor of the store provides a small eatery to sit down and relax, lighting is lower and the area is quiet and windows surround that space. This store has international favorites down complete aisles, as well as, necessary shopping foods to place in every pantry. The staff is friendly, helpful and courteous. Dont forget the desserts, they are by the bakery and in the refrigerated sections, along with 2 cookie kiosks that tempt even the fainthearted with visual, nostalgic, and taste appeal. Enjoy your shopping experience in this calm...
Read moreSadly this shopping center has waged war against people in the apartments in their complex who have dogs. Living in the Heights apartments which boast features such as “fenced dog park” and “dog friendly community” you’d think you’ve found a lovely community to live in! That is until they tear down the dog park hastily unannounced, and give dog owners no communication about why or any resolution. For dogs, living in a condo requires they get to be off leash and stretch and go potty. The Shops at Park lane has given us zero option for This and now the kid’s playground is covered in dog excrement as are the sidewalks. Security guards spend time yelling at tenants of the on site communities to put their dog on a leash, or remove them from some area dogs aren’t allowed instead of patrolling the infinite amount of crime from the growing homeless community and auto theft and break ins. Get it together Park Lane and get your priorities straight. Why don’t you take the money you spend on Instagram walls and put it on cleaning the dog park so dogs don’t get sick and maintaining a healthy , happy and secure community. This looks...
Read moreI visited the flagship Whole Foods on Greenville Avenue after a good while. Things have changed since the pandemic. The entrance near the produce section has been closed; customers must use the other entrance.
Upon entering, the first thing you notice is the sanitizing station, with wipes and sanitizer. The bar area has been closed and converted to delivery. The salad bar is also completely empty. No more "serve yourself." A sign says they've increased pre-packaged items. Likewise, the area that used to have a selection of olives, peppers and other deli veggies no longer offers self-service--the selections are pre-portioned. No bulk items either, including coffee beans.
The shelves are no longer empty. A few items are unavailable, but, for the most part, you can find anything you need.
The aisles are jammed with delivery people, who sometimes dart around without much concern for the people who are shopping for themselves.
I miss the old Whole Foods, with the bar/restaurant area filled with people eating and enjoying the many beers on tap. It may take another year for things to get back to normal. I...
