When I stopped in at the New Frontiers deli for coffee-and the other morning, I was struck by the amount of greenery around and about our local natural foods supermarket. Even a spider plant hanging down in the middle of a packaged food aisle (above.)
Reason I noticed: 1) there were live plants on most of the tables and 2) it was watering time. Certainly a not too subtle way to underscore the
natural theme.
The veggie displays also emphasized
fresh and
natural. (And they were eminently photogenic!)
That's why I'm dedicating this post to my two veggie afficienados, Lucy and Lizzie! Long may they enjoy! Just incidentally, I still prefer fruit!
Aside from the fine deli, another attraction of New Frontiers is the attention paid to the bulletin boards -- by me, an important aspect of any business that is a regular stop-off for customers. Fry's and Safeway tuck them into out of the way corners; Albertson's has none -- zero. At NF, the notices are in full view at one entrance; on one side, the announcements of events and causes; across the way, the peoples' bulletin board (sales, rentals.) Even here, greenery. A fine finishing touch.
