It was my first visit to Lidl in the years since it has been open. Because it sits back off the…read moreroad across from Haygood Shopping Center, it doesn't have the visibility that catches my eye. It was built on a parcel that was a medical center for many years. My trip there wasn't planned today. After running errands & taking the CRV through the car wash whose entrance is reached via the Lidl turn in, I decided to make a quick stop to purchase fruit. The store has a very large and clean parking lot with numerous handicapped spots on the side of the store facing Independence Boulevard. Not knowing the bag options situation I retrieved the one reusable bag from this vehicle that I don't normally drive. Carts were available at the entrance to this large store. Having entered on the wrong side, I has to traverse the store to get to the fruit and vegetables. There wasn't a huge supply of each item. Some prices were better than other stores and some the same. I didn't see organic fruit but did see organic baby spinach that I love. Not having a lot of time to explore I headed to nuts in hopes of finding some new mixed options to add to spinach salad. I succeeded in finding several interesting snack mixtures that would work great as toppings. The back half of the store included some dry goods that aren't normally found in grocery stores. Many of the grocery aisles had to be skipped. So there will definitely be a return visit to explore the entire store. The store did seem devoid of employees. I saw one cashier and no one in the aisles that I explored or were visible to me. The line at the cashier wasn't moving at all. Opting for self checkout, which I never do, I found it fast and easy. The option was available to join Lidl's rewards program. I didn't see a purchase receipt or shopping bags, which validated my keeping the reusable bag in the vehicle I was driving. I'll return. It will be a good, quick spot to pick up necessities.

I know Lidl is a European company and expected to see International Items, but I would never have thought the pastries are that good! And reminds me of little café that would sell these tasty items! They have an array of Baggett, bread loaf, , cheese breads, bagels, doughnuts and my favorite the "Croissant " It's Big, Fluffy, light , flakey and Buttery! I think I explained that well. Lol Seriously...I haven't had this good of a Pastry since the last time I've visited France. And the "Big Croissant " is the first one to run out. . They open at 9am, so I like to get there early, so it's fresh baked out of the oven. Just a hint..you can always heat them back up in an air fryer to get them hot and flaky. So get them while there hot or before they run out!

This natural market is very clean and organized. There are many options for natural products. We found our natural products with ease and took note of other products we might like to try next time. We also picked up some raw wildflower honey that we couldn't pass up! We chose our honey bear container and dispensed the raw honey ourselves. The ladies at the register were friendly and knowledgeable. Although we don't live close to the Heritage Natural Market, we plan to add its location to our list whenever we're in the area.

Heritage Natural Market - Crystal + Natural Goods Visit Review…read moreI stopped by Heritage Natural Market recently to pick up some crystals and sage for my new place. The store is definitely unique, offering a variety of natural goods--from loose teas and spices to crystals and spiritual items--but I had a mixed experience. Crystal Shopping Experience When I arrived, I waited patiently by the crystal counter for quite a while. The woman working was helping someone at the register, so I assumed she saw me and would assist when she could. Unfortunately, I had to speak up and ask for help, which felt a little awkward after standing there for so long without being acknowledged. Once she came over, she was very knowledgeable about the crystals--which I appreciated. I gave her a list, but she was pretty pushy in trying to upsell me on crystals that weren't on it. She kept insisting I "needed" certain stones and that they were "must-haves," which was honestly a bit too much. I was looking for guidance, not a hard sell. I even asked if a smaller version of one crystal was available, and she told me no--but when I looked myself, I found smaller and more appropriate options for my space. Store Layout + Products The store has a ton of bulk goods--spices, teas, beans, candies, etc.--but I'll be honest, some bins looked like they hadn't been rotated or updated in a while. I was hesitant to buy anything from them this visit because a few items appeared dusty or outdated. Vibe While I value passion and expertise, the employee's approach felt overbearing at times. I even felt followed a bit while browsing. For a space that's supposed to feel calming and welcoming, it gave me the opposite vibe. Will I go back? Yes, mainly because there aren't many natural stores like this in the area, and they do have a wide range of items. But next time, I'll likely skip the crystal counter and go in with a firm list and boundaries.
