Shopping at Farmer Joe's is like an adventure to me. A fun and a bit chaotic adventure! There is…read moresuch a wide selection of foods. Their produce section is huge and basically so is the meat, deli and bakery sections! What I like about it is the different brands, those you don't find at your standard grocery stores. And I really like shopping here for holiday gifts, as you can put together some pretty good and creative gift baskets/bags. Today we got a nice deal on some frozen Key West pinks and a good looking bone in prime rib for our holiday dinner. We also found some jumbo sweet potatoes, fresh beets and a variety of food items for gift baskets. It was fun, except for maneuvering around all the people and their baskets. I think they need wider aisles or smaller shopping carts! And although it is a little pricey, I don't mind over-paying every once in a while just for the experience.

This is the... most pristine Walmart I have ever seen and I am not a fan of even going. But when…read moreyou're out of town and you neeeeeeeed things.... This Walmart has the freshest of freshest produce sections (minus the one HUGE ASS AVOCADO- it was rotten from the pit not on Walmart but it was as big as both my fist) I have ever laid eyes on. Insane... the mangoes y'all... chefs kiss hit 'em five times right now!!!! It was better lit, clean, didn't smell like ass and cigarettes even with people in it that did... omg y'all it was crazy. The nicest Walmart. I'm a fan. I can go to another Walmart unless I'm going to Estero FL.

Very disappointing experience at the Estero Walmart…read more I purchased a $40 beach umbrella here as a last-minute item for a day at the beach. After getting everything packed, driving out there, and setting everything up, we discovered the umbrella had clearly been used and was so badly damaged that it literally fell apart when we opened it. We couldn't even use it. Extremely frustrating when you buy something specifically because you need it that day. When I returned it, I wasn't upset about the $40. My concern was how an item in that condition ended up back on the shelf for another customer to purchase. I tried explaining this to a manager/"Coach" named James. Instead of listening to my concern, he became defensive, repeatedly interrupted me, and spoke to me in a condescending manner. When I referred to Walmart as "y'all," he immediately responded, "We didn't do that. We didn't put that back on the shelf," as though I was personally accusing him. What really surprised me was another employee telling me, "We do not check the products when they're returned. We just trust the customer." If that's actually the procedure, that's concerning. I doubt anyone is putting a returned PS5 straight back on the shelf without checking it first. Why should a customer buying a $40 item deserve any less consideration? The defective umbrella was frustrating, especially because it affected our beach plans. But the dismissive attitude from James when I raised a legitimate concern is what really turned this into a bad customer-service experience.

Temperature control on ALL MEATS should be taken serious and cleaning the meat area shelves are a issue for bacteria growth.

We took a ride to Whole Foods today. David is obsessed with making Falafel lol!…read more He made some while I was sleeping this morning and then we watched videos on how to make it better. So we were on a quest to find dried garbanzo beans, which we did. Then some fresh herbs and some dry ones. The place was so busy! I see they have a new Amazon return station when you walk towards the food seating area. They also deliver food orders in the back of the store. I was glad to see all the people in there bc there was definitely more products and specials. We got lobster macaroni and cheese to try. It had some big pieces of lobster but the topping was a little to salty for me. There was a Bogo on natural unprocessed bacon and we got those too. It's a great place to shop for organic products. The soup bar and hot and cold bar were very busy. It's makes me happy to see a business succeed! Much better than the last tie we were there!

We don't typically shop at Whole Foods, but I did stop in specifically to buy some Freshpet dog…read morefood. Their cost is actually pretty good compared to other retail outlets. I would really like to try their food bar sometime. Their offering of fresh cooked/prepared food is quite extensive. While there, I found the store to be busy and the staff they helped me was friendly and knowledgeable.

In Southwest Florida like Naples and Fort Myers vicinity, Publix supermarket once reigned supreme…read morewith more than 50 stores. Whole Foods, Sprouts, Bravo Supermarkets, The Fresh Market, Lucky's Market, Trader Joe's and Aldi have grown their footprint and expansion here in recent years. Walmart and Publix had battled against Sweetbay, Food Lion, Bruno's and Albertsons. There were several Bravo Supermarkets opened here in the last few years. How they fit in the grocer battle in Southwest Florida? I was in the Lehigh Acres in late Sunday afternoon. My curiosity made me swing by a Bravo Supermarket in Lee Blvd. First, most Bravo Supermarkets are franchised and locally owned. Bravo grow into Florida from New York. It catered to Latin Clients with fresh produce, dairy, meats, seafoods, snacks, drinks and prepared foods. There were two food trucks at the end of parking offer Jamaican and Latin food. The produce area is adequate but not that big. Pickup parsley, one eggplant and two bitter melons. I was looking for tropical fruits but the Papaya was huge and the size is not suitable for our need. Only three Mamay Sapote were available but there were good selections of Malanga and yuca. The green guavas were very fresh and looks amazing. Will check out the seafood and the meat department on the next visit. From the frozen section, I got 4 Mango Ice Cream bars and a Argentinean Beef empanada. From the small bakery section, I got two Pan Mexicano and croissants. I was at the store around 4 PM and did not explore the prepared food or deli section! This is a good side store and not huge. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. A good Latin Supermarket! Now, I know how Bravo and others can compete with Walmart and Publix. Just differentiate yourself from Publix and concentrate on your own niche.

It's very convenient for the people that are living around the area like me as supposed to having to drive all the way to Publix or all the way to fresco and sometimes even to Walmart I'd rather just go there and get something that I need quickly I don't, however, like most of their prices as they are overpriced compared to other stores but I guess you have to be because you're just a small market.

Their rib eye roast was the least expensive I have found in Naples. Their meat section is very small. I did see frozen grouper for $114. So if you ever need that fresh frozen grouper it is here.

Look out Costco!…read more This place is a bulk sized quantity store with basics. OK. If. SAMs and Costco had a child this would be the runt of the litter. This store was great to shop in. It's less than a year old clean and all the staff are happy and friendly. Not too many people know its here so. And they don't feed samples to the sample zombies. So if you like FREE SAMPLES go to COSTCO's. I prefer if it stays uncrowded here My buddy and I came here for paper plates, paper towels, seasoning ribs and wings. The wings were good sized and turned out great on the grill. Not too sure if I would like watermelon soda? And wondered at the placement near the.....un fried chicken. Is that wrong? I'm still a fan. Looking forward to returning in the fall. 28/ 2014
