There is some good and bad. I had stopped going here when it was called Farmbria due to the extremely long checkout lines and because the security would occasionally follow me around the store. With the new management, the store seems much more clean and organized. They have even added one of those modernized screens that tells you which cashier is ready à la Whole Foods. The produce section is well maintained which I primarily go there for. There are new hours allowing you to shop until 10:30p which is great for me to avoid the long lines.

Now the bad. The prices are exorbitant! I don't even see prices this high in Manhattan. I can't imagine shopping for a large family here. Probably the biggest negative: the neighborhood is over 90% Black (just looked it up) and I haven't seen one Black person working there other than the security. What happened to all the people that were there when it was called Farmbria? The store has some potential but I probably will only go here as a backup plan.

EDIT: After a few weeks came back for some of their fresh cut fruit which had a weird taste. Still no people from the community working there. I pass.
