You'll want to buy everything, until you get a look at the prices.  |
Sounds yummy, but what should we know about the prices? Is that a good , or a bad ?   |

Well, it's no Trader Joe's. I think the prices are high, especially for Knoxville. Healthier food always is, and some things are priced more "reasonably" than others. It's good food, but you'll definitely pay a premium.
I'm still reeling at how much more expensive food is in TN, compared to CA. I never thought I would pine over a food store like I do over Trader Joe's.

goodbyehollywood: We discussed at great length my grocery bills a long time ago. MBMouse, and a few others, almost fell over.
If I'm going to spend that kind of money, I might as well buy good stuff!

Could have started in high school, right? However, you watch my back like a mother yourself! A little role reversal here!
And yeah, eat the good stuff! Yummy! See you Sat. |

We drove by the area, and they are grading it, and I guess it looks big enough for a Costco,.
Anyone else heard about this? If true, it will be a great addition.

I believe it's true
I believe it is true also as they talk about it on their website---In addition to that I believe they are building a big distribution center at 275 and Woodland in east knoxville area

Igreen,
I think you're referring to Sysco, a food distribution company, which is building a big distribution center in Knoxville.
