Visited the new downtown Kress IGA Saturday 7/12/08 for some groceries. What a cool store! Great food, friendly staff and a really nice experience. I love the beautiful produce that greets you as you enter the store. It is almost like a painting ~ beautiful produce and fruit displayed like a European market. The manager (Jeremy S.) is fun and very friendly. A very nice addition to the downtown area.

As a downtown resident, I say "Bravo". I hope it's worth the hype. I'll hope to breeze through on Saturday and check it out.

I tried to go during my lunch hour and it was closed. Someone from the store came out and said there was a problem with the escalator and it would be about an hour before the store opened. At least 20 people kept waiting outside. I know it is exciting to have a grocery store downtown but not exciting enough to wait outside for an hour.

They should have called this post "Finally, a Store That Actually Tries"

HURRAY! No more lugging Metro-Market bags past the bums and squeezing onto a crowded bus!
