living near the RedLine makes shopping in Cambridge and Boston easy.
Im personally allergic to WF.
its not for me . No Parking.
also if W'g was on the other side of TJ's, it would be a different matter ...
Id rarely stop in
still packaged meat looks promising , esp on sale compared with what i can get locally.
its going to very interesting to see how the store does being so large w so many emplyees
the prepared food is probably going to make or break them.
Some of the pastries seem to be made there , and Im not sure about the bread.
I aked about two loaf's that interested me. I think but do not quote me that they said they were baked in NY
and surprising to me , as they are new and want to generate traffic
they are very stingy w samples
Id think each department would have something as they have plenty of staff.
I only had some aged ham on one trip and a delicious pear tart on another.
and for me , its on the way to Tj's.
but MarketBasket and Tj's are my main stops
there is a new MB on 128 in Wlatham I think. try that if you are motoring around
TotalWine is the only reason to come out to Natick.
I always see cars from NH and CT in the lot. far larger selection than W's or any supermarket and cheaper
sometimes cars from NY and Maine.
one last thought :
their prepared refrigerated food selection is immense
I didn't look into how long its shelf life is
but they much have a tremendous amount of waste
I hope they donate what they can. many store do this.
