"Quick visit to the store. It has been years since my last visit. The store is geared for COVID protection. "One-Way" entry/exit scheme. You enter through one door and exit through another. Masks at the time ofy visit was required. The store was well organized and products were placed neatly on shelves. The staff was friendly. I didn't do a price comparison, so no comments. Produce looks fresh and had a variety for those seeking fruits and or vegetables from the Caribbean or Latin countries. I would go back."
