Good points – all. I’ll be on campus for the next three years. I’ll give it a chance.

You may think you know your supermarkets ,but with all do respect, you do not know business. Sure it is more expensive at the Penn store, why wouldn’t they capitalize on the deep pockets of Penn student’s parents? I am a Temple and I can assure you this Fresh Grocer will be good for us students. This store will be cheaper then the Penn store. I am glad I will be able to shop at a supermarket close to campus instead of eating at J and H or the SAC. Give it a chance before you put the store down. Also ,for your information , being white does not in the least bit mean you do not need to shop wisely. And about the white truck who sales fruit everyday ….. They do not pay taxes for what they sale and it is not right.

Really? Perhaps I should re-order my chart. Pathmark is expensive, true that.

actually, it’s not that simple. I assume you’re referring to the Fresh Grocer on penn campus? The one out near my house at 54th and Chester is MUCH cheaper. In fact, sometimes it’s even cheaper than pathmark, especially with the meat selection.
