[Magdalen] Whole Foods wins !!!

[Grace Cangialosi]

Yes, we have had Whole Paycheck for a long time. They enlarged and moved when Trader Joe's was on the horizon, and the new location is a nightmare with a horrible parking lot traffic pattern. I only go there when my daughter needs her preferred coffee beans and can't get there. Have been to Trader Joe's twice--don't like it. We also have something called Fresh Food, or something like that; it's just like WF, but slightly less expensive.
I mostly shop at Food Lion, because it's just down the road, and if I want to go slightly upscale, I do Harris Teeter--love that store!
