World Wide Food Market — Local services in Hollins

Visited this store for the 1st time yesterday and highly doubt that I'll visit it again. For starters, just trying to maneuver through the parking lot was a bit of a task because there's water hoses zig zagging all over the parking lot. I was trying to be considerate by not running my vehicle over them. I finally get parked and head inside and noticed there was a bit of a foul smell as soon as I walked in the door🤢.
