These are our local go to options if you don’t want to drive downtown GR
This place is similar to a mini Whole Foods- but mom and pops style. Great place to grab basic groceries, we love the health food options they have too. We love the produce selection, the greenhouse, the deli has great pasta salad and kale salad, soup & salad bar, the hot and ready pizza is pretty good too, also an amazing selection of wine and beer- and you can drink while you shop!
