Thank goodness they are finally in Franklin. I used to shop there years ago in the Midwest and…read moreloved their fresh produce, great prices and availability of items to help me budget my grocery bill. The same stands true for this facility. They even had a lot of very nice selections of vegan friendly convenience foods. I did purchase the non dairy whipped cream, 2 different vegan ready burgers and a bag of vegan meatballs. I would like to see a brand of non dairy yogurt as I didn't see any, but maybe there was. The lines were going fairly smoothly and I had all my groceries separated already in their reusable grocery bags ( which as a grand opening gift, you receive 2). The cashier was very apprehensive that I had just placed the bags full on the conveyor belt instead of dumping all the items. I always have an extra bag empty and ready to begin the bagging process on the end but she was anxious. I thought it went well and she did a good job but she asked me to next time take all the items out and place them on the conveyor belt! Honestly, I am hoping the store video will show her how smoothly that went because at a bag it yourself grocery and even a regular grocery store it goes so much smoother. That's my only concern. Great store, good prices and good service. Maybe add 2-3 lanes of checkers for those of us who bulk shop and live a distance away. As I am thinking about the shopping cart, you need a quarter to activate it. And there are many self checkouts as opposed to the one checker. Guessing they really would prefer small amounts to be purchased and not large orders.

Amazing. As one of the "crazy plant people," I can say the Nursery blew me away. I was not…read moreprepared for ALL of the amazing plants, and every one of them in incredible condition, clearly loved and cared for. I need to do research to see which of them will grow at the bottom of the mountain where I live, but settled for some vegetable starts this time. Oh, and the staff is so knowledgeable!! THEN!!! We went to the farm and wow, what an incredible place. Would love to stay and/or camp, so I need to plan that for summer or fall. Got to talk with the lambs and chickens, took some beautiful pictures, and relaxed. Many thanks to Stacey for the tour!

This new Sav-Mor Foods location opened early April 2018 in the same spot as an Ingles that closed…read morein Westgate Plaza. It is part of a chain that operates stores in NC, SC and TN. They do NOT have a website. They ARE owned by Ingles yet Ingles makes no mention ANYWHERE on its website that they exist. I went to the Grand Opening and there were management folks all over like at an Ingles opening but to a lesser scale. They promote themselves as a discount store. There is also a chain in the regions called Sav A Lot, and this is not them. There is also a Sav Mor in Alabama and I dont believe this is them either. Northern California has a chain called Sav,Mor Foods and this is not them. This chain uses a dot between Sav and Mor and this chain here in NC SC TN uses a dash -. If you look around the store you can find a few bargains but nothing to get excited about. Opening week had nice Pineapples and Cantaloupe for $1.50 each. Canned vegetables, not a name brand were 39c can. The help in the store is 100% new. NONE of the Ingles help stayed on to work here. The workers will readily tell you yes this is owned by Ingles. You will also see Laura Lynn products throughout the store. The yellow shelf labels are just like Ingles. However you cant scan your Ingles card. They have no such card. They also DONT have bakeries, delis, or you scan. Only regular human checkers. They do have an area of Hispanic/Mexican foods. Whats also different is you will find a few things that a regular Ingles would never carry. One odd one is a flat of No Name No label Cat food in monster cans. Most cat foods I thought were small cans the size of tuna cans or smaller. These are BIG cans. Must be some monster cars around these parts! (photo posted) 12 unmarked cans sealed on a flat for $4.17. Thats less than 35c a can! I dont think it gets any cheaper than that! These can sizes really puzzle me though. I wonder what this stuff is really used for? Another thing you can get here is some of the less fashionable parts of the animal in the meat dept. They had pork tails, pork stomach, pork ears, pork neck bones, pork feet, beef tongue,beef feet, beef tripe. Some people use some of these things for bone broth which is now in fashion for health. They dont have a website so you cant look at a flyer online. In the store they have a small 8 1/2 x 11 sheet with specials at the door. The help was friendly and I wish them success in Franklin.
