Grocery Stores

We don’t provide cream for coffee so if you need some this is a good time to get it. You can spend a bit of time here as it is above Uptown, a beautiful “outdoor mall” with some great clothing stores and food options and for a more affordable options (on the lower level) for groceries there is Walmart. You will also find Starbucks near Walmart and Booster Juice, a nice Bakery and take-out Mexican place that is super fresh and tasty. See other food options under the UPTOWN FOOD OPTIONS category.
Yep we got a Whole Foods & thanks to Amazon it's now a wee bit cheaper.
