I visited on its opening day yesterday. I liked it, but it was very crowded and hard to get around. I expected that, but I was very curious to see what it looked like. I have spent years traveling to the WFMs on Wilcrest and Sugarland, to buy my favorite bottled water, called "Crazy Water". It is a great mineral water that is seldom found anywhere else. I was sooo glad to learn that a WF was FINALLY coming to Katy, but sooo disappointed that...they don't carry Crazy Water! It's possible they might someday, since the other stores do. I will go back after the crowds have reduced.

Looking forward to checking it out for the beer selection, and being able to get beer in growlers.

When I first saw the site plan for that development my first words were "there's not enough parking". I stopped by WF last night around 8:15 pm and there was enough of a crowd there to see that when Carabba's and the other stores open, parking will be scarce. Maybe when Sprouts opens in March, the parking situation will improve.

I was surprised at the amount and variety of prepared foods. I may stop there occasionally to pick up a ready-to-eat meal, but I won't stop shopping at HEB.

I went by there earlier today and would have gone in, but there was no parking unless I wanted to park back around the other side by Smashburger (which, admittedly, isn't that far, but I was feeling lazy). Like others, I'll wait for the novelty to die down before I check it out... if it remains as crowded as today, though, I'll just stick with HEB.

I drove by around 7:30am on the day it opened and there was a crowd of atleast 50 people standing outside the door waiting to get in.


And for those saying you'll still go to HEB, why? They support illegal aliens. Boycott HEB like the rest of law abiding Americans do. Shop at Kroger instead.

That is probably because they were handing out gift cards to the first 100 people in the store.

I went and think that it looks great, but it was too crowded to do much serious shopping. Will go back next week.

Given the future growth in that general area, WF should have built a much larger store with more parking.
