Even better then had dogfishhead 120 on tap for like 6 dollars which back then was not common!
Are you talking about at Mercado? We are two miles from there and stop in probably 3x/week. I admit I have never gone to that area of the store. I just don't see the attraction of sipping a drink while food shopping. Have you gone to Seed to Table? There's bars in the middle of the super market! Crazy!

Yes Mercado my grandparents use to live in the park so we always end up in north Naples for better or worse. Memories of Wigans pass as a kid hard to break!

I have not been down in a couple years sadly. Will check out seed to table. I must admit this was before I had a kid lol my wife and I would have a drink just about anywhere. We’ve slowed considerably haha

Shoot. I love the walk around beer at Whole Foods. I’ll go after work to grab a few things do a couple laps. The beer selection is always solid there.

Wow, the politics is over-the-top no matter what you believe. In the height of COVID, we realized we were the only ones in the whole place with masks on. We didn't go back for a year. But we do love their homemade pasta.

It is booming like Times Square virtually every time we go in there. Amazing business.

Data just in, and yes backward-looking as it is 2020-2021 figures:

Forida #1 enjoying a net gain of $39.1 billion in gross income from 256,000 new residents. Very nice worth per resident. Well played indeed.

Next up is as expected with Texas gaining $10.9 billion and 175,000 people. Far less value per resident. Then came Nevada at $4.6 billion, North Carolina $4.5 billion, Arizona $4.4 billion, South Carolina $4.2 billion, and Tennessee $4.1 billion.

My hometown, Rochester NY, is home to one of the best grocery stores in America: Wegmans. My winter home is in Naples and we go to Seed To Table (STT) 2 or 3 times a month. Arguably, STT is the best store in Naples. They could give Wegmans a real run if they were bigger (they only have 1 store and 1 more under construction).
