They have a good in store bakery and deli section. They also have a good wine and beer selection and nice meat department. The owners support local causes and earn local support.elecpenciljimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15247830591055255846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24427664.post-86341811159118828472010-07-27T02:40:46.980+02:002010-07-27T02:40:46.980+02:00Remember the Good Food Co-Op on Pyatt Street?

Sparkle on the northside has become more and more dirty as the years have progressed. Their produce has continued to become less than appetizing, and they fail to offer enough organic products. Let me just say that if someone were to put in something like a Trader Joes in that location, they could make a fortune. I know I would certainly swear off of Giant Eagle. For that matter I imagine that a business such as I describe would draw people from the surrounding areas as well. I know that several times a year I go to Cleveland area to go to Trader Joes. I am not the only one.Deb Weavernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24427664.post-85179303060250350702010-07-24T22:21:27.550+02:002010-07-24T22:21:27.550+02:00And we continue to harm ourselves.

In Hubbard the UFCW cut Nemenz IGA's traffic which closed the store even though the city could clearly support two stores. As your post demonstrates, we need to support local businesses to thrive.Mike Preleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225308166354728460noreply@blogger.com
