Finally got a chance to see what this place was like today after all the online hype Ive read.

Parking is a nightmare for starters today around 4:30 on a sunday. Open 7 days.They also have a juice shop at one end which is popular with fruit and ice cream.
The store is quite big ,trolleys and baskets are available. Lots of variety in the f and v dept. ended up getting 1/4 watermelon,rasp,blueberries ,onions,potatoes,apples,cucumber,really soft over ripe bananas .not impressed when we got home with them.I peeled one to freeze and it was overly soft and fell in half , I Felt but we needed a few so took a chance wrong choice, spring onions ,3 mangos,3 small pineapples for $5 , $57 all up.
they sometimes have specials for locals if you show the fb ad.like a box of mangoes for $9 one day then a huge price jump to $19 a box the next. I think thats a bit much! Prices arent any cheaper than a few other stores ,its just convenient to shop because they have more variety. The girl serving us had more interest in what was going on behind us at the juice shop,or the next till,she kept looking over my shoulder,and not paying attention to customers which was somewhat rude. Service in the f & v part was lacking I think they are more interested in the juice shop part. Tables and chairs outside to sit and eat or drink. Try and go during the week day because the weekend is rather hectic. I wasnt really impressed with the reality from the hype.
