I agree with this. Even with Wegmans and the high end grocery stores (Whole Foods) in the Philly metropolitan areas, there were still items in Sunshine that you'd never find anywhere else. And I just love experienceing the old-time atmosphere it had, like it was right out of the 60s or 70s.

I had never been in the old Sunshine Market, but the one on 315 did not seem old-time to me. It sort of seemed like a huge warehouse type of atmosphere. It was huge, pretty much too big, it seemed like it took an hour to walk from one end of the store to the other. Probably because of the wide aisles, which was good in a way, but the place was just too spread out for my tastes. I only went there once.

Giants has so much of "buy one get one free" this week that you could fill up your fridge with two weeks groceries instead of one. Plus a 30 cents off a gallon of gas coupon with a $50.00 order.
I think they have great meats and a very nice bakery dept. Well, Wind Gap does anyhow........

Agree with you. I loved the store, but I had to go way out of route to get there. Great store, poor location.
