Beautiful space, excellent visual merchandising, great products, stupid as hell location (lost in a line of non-descript shops catering to the wrong type of customers), space is too small to stock the full variety of items a high-end grocery buyer would be looking for.
The old video store front near The Farm would have been the ideal location – lots of store front to show off the product and the right type of customer just steps away.
Location does matter.
I want the prepared food, which I’m assuming is going to mean meals. Fried chicken especially. I went in yesterday and the staff was very pleasant.
I stopped by last night and bought a few items. The blue cheese and sausage were excellent. I didn’t think the prices for those were bad but I picked up a chocolate bar that looked good not noticing it was $7.50 for 3 oz. Other than the chocolate a great place and I’ll go back.
Happened to walk by…can’t remember why I was on Flatbush this weekend…oh, yes…on my way to the coop. Anyway, the new shop wasn’t open but it looked very sleek and nice. It is rather shocking the cool, mod things coming in…very odd up against the old-timers.
All the best to them!
I was going to ask about prices–I guess they didn’t listen to our comments. Not sure how you can be MORE expensive than Union Market, which is already expensive. Oh well.
I stopped in to check it out last night on my way to dinner… it looks really nice. Great products, and a nice, uncluttered feel (for now anyway). However, at first glance it seems more expensive than nearby Blue Apron and Union Market. Maybe the rent on Flatbush is higher.
