Fruit Tree Farm

This market is nothing like the old Sal’s Fruit tree. The fruits and Vegetables are not fresh and looked terrible. I will never return.

I’ve been going to the Fruit Tree for many years. While it was a bit cramped and «markety», the variety and prices were always great. I missed them greatly while they were closed for almost a year (what was supposed to be only a few months originally). With much anticipation on my part, they recently re-​opened, having undergone what appears to be a huge facelift. While the store itself seems roomier, there does not seem to be any improvement in selection, and the prices have surely gone up a bit.
This was my go-​to neighborhood market for a long time, but now it feels no different than the average supermarket. It almost feels like a failed effort to me. They were the best little guy before. Now it kind of feels like a not-​so-​great supermarket TRYING to be like the big guys. I hope it works out in the long run for them, but I just don’t see myself going out of my way to shop here anymore. It’s lost it’s charm so to speak.

I want to give it 3.5 stars simply for the shiny newness of it. It is a revamped Sal’s Fruit Tree from back in the day. The locals know what I’m talking about. It’s a neighborhood icon.
That being said I felt like it missed the mark on what it was known for. The fruits & vegetables. I felt the variety was a bit lacking. And things were a little more expensive. Where’s my lemons & limes for 10 for $ 1.00? $ 2.00 even, that would’ve been acceptable. But truthfully that’s my only complaint.
It’s clean. The aisles are wider. They have ample room at the checkout area now. Friendly cashier girl too.
But the highlights were the nice Deli counter. The fresh COVERED bread section & the Fresh Fish Market. Bravo in those areas.
I’ll come back to update my review once I’ve been back a few more times.
Good Vibes being sent to the owners on their successful re-​opening of our neighborhood market.
