Foodmart International


Recommended Posts

It really is there, and the Web site I linked to above has very good directions plus a map. There are also quite a few other stores in the complex.

Those familiar with Foodmart International will immediately recognize the setup. The towers of products (though still being set up):

The mega-seafood tanks (let's hope they keep these in better condition than the JC location did):

The butchers are working but the meat department is only about half set up -- they expect to be fully functional within a week or so:

The store isn't as big as JC, but it has a similar inventory -- I don't think there ever was a real reason to have so much space devoted to the store; the result was too much elderly stuff on the shelves. Maybe this somewhat smaller (though still huge) format will improve turnover.

Some of my favorite things at FMI are non-food items. Found some nice FMI mugs:

Also some excellent Jesus memorabilia:

And this great cleaning product, "Latin Clean":

I guess this guy here is the Latin Mr. Clean:

That's all for now:
