Gourmet and specialty foods type of market that offer uncommon food type items that include organic and natural products not always found in the local large grocery markets. These stores cater to “foodies” who enjoy cooking as a past time rather than a simple method of sustenance. They consist of foods not heavily processed and do not contain artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, or preservatives.

A Whole Foods…
in an urban format could be one option!
http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/
Here’s an excerpt of an urban format example…
Whole Foods
42,000 square foot Whole Foods Market is situated under three stories of condominiums — 116 total — and a 10,000 square foot fitness center in Alexandria, Virginia. The building at Duke Street and Holland Lane sits on the northeast corner of the 80-acre, high-density, new urban Carlyle development — and near the Metro. MV+A’s design, with sloped roofs and pilasters, responds to the historic architecture of the city as well as recent buildings — some modernist — in Carlyle, Voelzke notes. Three levels of parking, accessed by a rear alley, are below the store, which was completed in 2006.
Another option would be….
Trader Joe’s…
http://www.traderjoes.com/
They have experience building in urban format’s, and could be a fit for the market that desires this type of grocer option.
Here’s an excerpt from the site:
“Value” is a concept we take very seriously. And by value we mean great everyday prices on all of our great products — no sales, no gimmicks, no clubs to join, no special cards to swipe… How do we do it?
We buy direct from suppliers whenever possible, we bargain hard to get the best price, and then pass the savings on to you.If an item doesn’t pull its weight in our stores, it goes away to gangway for something else.We buy in volume and contract early to get the best prices.Most grocers charge their suppliers fees for putting an item on the shelf. This results in higher prices… so we don’t do it.We keep our costs low — because every penny we save is a penny you save.
It’s not complicated. We just focus on what matters — great food + great prices = Value.
If you’re into this, please consider: LOCAL FOOD CO-OP
Something different for Bristol.
Fresh Market, they are popular in Florida and a smaller version of Whole Foods. Check them out
Don’t forget to check out the Super Natural grocery store on the corner of Rt 6 and North Main–they have some bangin falafel!
Badly needed in town.
I love Whole Foods, but it is SUPER EXPENSIVE. I vote for Trader Joe’s.
Love Trader Joes!
YES people from other towns like southington and beyond will flock to bristol to shop here, YES YES YES
