You will find more than just fruits and vegetables, and guaranteed that you will find a fair share of diverse wellness ingredients which will appeal to all shoppers. With products originating not only locally, but from other countries including South America, this sends a clear signal of an attempt to elevate the shopping experience to attract more diverse consumers.

They are open everyday from 8am to 8pm, except on weekends from 8am to 6pm. What more could you ask for?
