Has anyone gone to this place yet and what is your experience in terms of quality and choices in organic food, ambiance, price (compared to Whole Foods)?

I went and I was very impressed. Big with lots of options -- has a more "granola" feel than Whole Foods -- more like a cross between that and Mom's Organic Market. For those wondering where it is -- it is out there next to Target and DSW and Walmart and BJ's. One thing that seemed interesting was a nice selection of hot prepared foods. Their produce also looked very nice. I did a fairly quick tour so am planning another visit -- need to get on their mailing list because they give out some very nice coupons. I was there opening week and the place was mobbed.

I think it is between DSW and World Market.

Yes, it is next to World Market. We walked through it recently and were not impressed. It is fairly large but doesn't actually have that much stock...far less than Whole Foods or even Wegmans natural section probably. Didn't appear to be much that was unique and I am not sure what niche it is going to serve with Whole Foods just down the road.

The best feature may be the little coffee shop in the front, which is a nice addition to that shopping center if you don't want to trek all the way down to Starbucks

I thought it seemed kind of expensive.

We went there this weekend and looks like a nice store. I looked for the items I generally buy from Whole Foods and this store was expensive. Some produce items are cheaper than Whole Foods. The coffee shop looked good.
