I warn you, if you knew what I know about the internal top level operations and you are a person of reasonable social conscience (non-racist, non-homophobic, non-antisemetic), you'll shop elsewhere. I was closely associated with the chain since store number one. They are run by Republican , right wingers who hate the "tree hugger agenda".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-26505750232329769782014-04-14T00:00:53.126-04:002014-04-14T00:00:53.126-04:00In my opinion, Earth Fare puts Whole Foods to abso...In my opinion, Earth Fare puts Whole Foods to absolute shame! Go to their website, and look at what the do and do not allow inside their stores. When I go to WF, I have to read every single label. Period. From the country of origin, to whether or not it is REALLY a SAFELY organic product (*hint* country of origin China, likely NOT organic, and definitely inspected by a 3rd, or more distant party), plus they allow Aspartame, Sucralose, and other neurotoxins, to be used as sweeteners in their products. Earth Fare does NOT allow ANY of the bad stuff, as such, in their stores. Their standards are higher, and their choices are fewer because of that guideline, but on the whole, their stores are FAR safer to shop for uncontaminated food.<br /><br />I am BEGGING Earth Fare to consider coming INSIDE the Perimeter, just into the Atlanta area, PERIOD!! As of now, all of their stores are at least 1.5 to 2 hours away - in addition to the Atlanta trafffic, it turns grocery shopping into an all day trip. It isn't cost effective, but you'd best bet that when I'm in a town that has an Earth Fare location, I get everything I can possibly afford, or get back home safely!<br /><br />Please, Earth Fare, consider expanding in Atlanta, and not just in college locals? Look into the areas of Acworth, Marietta, Kennesaw... all of which are Towns that lie outstide the perimeter. They are on the Northwest side of Atlanta. If colleges DO make the difference, Kennesaw State University is in Kennesaw, and Acworth, and Marietta, are on either side of that area. Just a thought :0)<br /><br />Thank you! I hope you have gotten this message. I've been patiently waiting for 14 years! <br /><br />Polly Mitchell Giles<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-11942302329879412282014-04-13T23:18:16.055-04:002014-04-13T23:18:16.055-04:00I totally agree!

With Whole Foods across the street, an equally traffic nightmare, it's just bad planning on both of the company's parts! I like both of those stores, but not enough to lose my life to get in and out if them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-70166439564497828182013-12-18T18:15:28.685-05:002013-12-18T18:15:28.685-05:00Maybe if Trader Joe's location were easier to ...Maybe if Trader Joe's location were easier to get to, not stuck in a corner location with difficult parking they might have better success.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-298049480032000992013-11-20T01:40:38.922-05:002013-11-20T01:40:38.922-05:00@Anon RE: OTP,
