On July 4th, you may have noticed that we closed earlier than usual so our staff could complete a few projects. Well, this is why!

Our Center Store Team, led by Merchandising Manager Joe, has been hard at work the last few months planning big changes to several parts of our store so we can stock more products and make shopping easier. These changes include: reorganizing our entire Bulk Department so baking supplies and other products could move closer to our bulk bins; moving teas in Aisle 3 back to our Bulk Department so they are closer to coffees (pictured) and other beverages; moving packaged bread next to the Deli to Aisle 3 so we can add more yummy, house-made foods; and shuffling the layouts of Aisles 1 and 2 to make room for more condiments and international foods.

We know these changes will be a big adjustment, so be sure to check them out in-store on your next grocery run. And please bear with us over the next few weeks as we get new wayfaring signage installed on the different displays. If you have any questions in the meantime, our staff is always ready to help!
