Fresh Thyme Farmer's Market

Discuss the new Meijer concept that puts main emphasis on produce.

One just opened back in July in the Troy Commons Shopping Center in Troy, Michigan, adjacent to a new Tuesday Morning.

My wife likes to go here.  She's big into the natural & gluten free stuff.  I've been in a couple of times; the stores are nice and I think the prices are comparable to Kroger for the same stuff.

They just opened 2 locations near me.

- Bridgeville, PA (Great Southern Shopping Center, in a former Bottom Dollar location)

- Pleasant Hills, PA (Southland Shopping Center)

Did not go anywhere near the grand opening as they were giving away a free
bag of groceries to the first 250 customers.  Wanted no part of that mob scene!

Some independently owned, long-time local upscale/organic grocers
(John McGinnis, McGinnis Sisters, The Uncommon Market, etc.) have closed-up
shop in the wake of all this new competition from out-of-town chains.
