It's a chain of offbeat, yuppie, pretending to be healthy, gourmet, and
mostly way cheap compared to anywhere else grocery stores. They have a
limited selection of everyday things, but some very useful Paleo things
like raw nuts, olive oil, good cosmetics and soaps, teas, and all. They
put out many products under their own name, or close variations on it.
They started in Pasadena, but I believe are now headquartered in the
Northeast somewhere, and the stores are spreading like wildfire.
