    Indeed!! It's a cutie, too - really nice deli section with Boar's Head products. Also a nice meat & fish section.
    The owner was there with a smile and said if there was anything we wanted but didn't see, bring him the upc code and he would get it. They have a 1M sf warehouse apparently that pretty much has everything.
    He was bummed because the milk didn't get delivered yesterday, and the wine section is yet to be set up. Still - we were so happy that it's finally open we didn't give a damn! Bought a bag of apples, some coffee, and will be regulars, I'm sure. YAY! (Does this mean we're old if we get excited that a grocery store opens?!)
  • sounds like a great place, we will have to check it out.

    I checked out the new Capital City Grocery store at Seaboard on Wednesday the 18th. It was great! I like small grocery stores and have been excited about finally having a grocery store near Mordecai. All of the people working in there were super friendly, and I was able to quickly get all of the things I remembered I needed (bread,milk,banannas,cat litter,grape jelly). The prices were good and the dude carried my groceries out to the car! The produce, meat, and seafood sections all looked fresh and neat. There were people sitting at the little tables outside, drinking coffee from the coffee bar and reading the newspaper. The place just had a "good vibe". I will definately go back for all of my grocery shopping.
  • It is definitely the most convenient grocery store for us. We went there with a list and found everything we needed. Nice folks, clean space, fresh produce and meats.
    One concern: For the space limitations in the building, I think they may be making a mistake by having such a large wine section. It would seem to me they could expand their inventory by using that space for something else and focusing less on wine, especially with the Seaboard Wine Shop just across the parking lot.

    Trader Joe's missed a huge opportunity by not locating there. As a resident of the neighborhood, I have to say that it would have been a HUGE hit here. I emailed the developers, who had contacted them. They said at the time they were not interested in "our market". Now they are located in nowheresville Cary and are looking for a space in Cameron Village, according to the Marketing Director there. *sigh*

    Update: I stopped in over the weekend and chatted with Ray, the owner for awhile. He said they are still making adjustments to things. He also said he will be bringing in organic products this week and putting them all in one place so we didn't have to hunt every aisle for what we wanted. I urge folks to give him their feedback on what they want - he is willing to make it work, but he can't change what he doesn't know about, so let him know!
