Herbs and spices are prepackaged
Jerry S.

Used to be called Adventist Book and health foods, not surprising given their world hq is half a mile away and their new hospital right behind the shopping center. There's a religious sculpture in front of the door, and half the store is devoted to Christian goods. The rest contains a cornucopia of natural supplements, cosmetics, and food. The collection of bulk flours, grains, dried fruit, and nuts exceeds even MOM. Wide selection of spices as well, but I didn't like that they were prepackaged so you can't buy a specific amount or reuse a container. The biggest unique offering is a whole wall of mock meat. While Adventist practice doesn't require vegetarianism, many choose to follow Genesis 1.29 and they've been perfecting products much longer than Impossible or Beyond. So if you're looking for clean food at reasonable prices, pardon my conflating Christians but "This is the place!" Full COVID precautions in place including masks, sanitizer at the door, and contact less payment.

Kids corner of the store. Kids bibles, coloring books, puzzles.

This place is wonderful! From the outside, I thought it was just a bookstore, but it's so much more! They have a smoothie bar, they serve chilli or soup. There is a kids corner with movies playing and toys. Lots of great gifts for the whole family and friends. They even sell makeup and skin care products!! A positive place and overall good customer service.

I love this store but then again I love every bible book store I've ever encountered so I may be biased. First off when you walk in you will see healthy food and snacks which you can indulge in without feeling guilty. I'm always torn between spending time in the gift section (I love gifts and trinkets) or the healthy food section which has everything from canned goods to Ezekiel bread. They truly run the gamut. It's like a Whole Foods married a Barnes and nobles! They have a area where you can get anything made from smoothies to soups and sandwiches and I've never had one bad item from that section. You can also purchase music and bibles the list goes on and on!

The Livingwell store or ABC as old-timers will know it is the primary destination for everything for church supplies to healthy vegan foods. There's also an excellent selection of religious books and gifts. Try and time your visit for days that they are giving out free samples or ridiculously low priced vegetarian hotdogs. Don't hate the player but take the advice about the food.

Entrance to the extensive food section.

Great food shopping for vegetarians and vegans. I walked past this storefront for years (while visiting Target and Kohl's) without ever venturing inside. To be honest I wasn't sure if it would be nice-Christian or creepy-Christian -- although even as a non-Christian I actually like the sculpture of Jesus out front, because it's humanistic and touching. Recently some people were telling me about the great food selection at this store, so I finally went in! It is very pleasant, not creepy. The store is bright and clean and the staff people are nice and very helpful. The other customers also seem happy and normal - nobody sulking or copping an attitude. I walked past the Christan gift items and made a beeline for the body care products and the food section, and was rather impressed! Much of what they carry are the familiar health-food-store brands, but there were also several items new to me. I don't know much about Seventh Day Adventists, but I DO know they are vegetarian and don't drink caffeine. (Thanks in large part to Adventists and Mormons, the old coffee substitute Postum was brought back.) So there is a very good selection of vegetarian and vegan food to be found here. They even had something I could not find at any other health food store (and I tried SIX of them)....vegetarian "oyster" sauce, made with oyster mushrooms...for my homemade lo mein. Very nice selection of bulk foods, including spices and soup mixes. When I visited they were giving out samples of a noodle dish. The store also has a classroom area in the back where they teach a six-week program on healthy eating and lifestyle. Anybody who is teaching vegetarianism and health is OK by me! I'll definitely be adding this place to my regular grocery-shopping rounds. ADDENDUM: There were no photos of the food sections of this store, so I've added some.

Name change. No longer Potomac Adventist Book & Health Food Store. It is now Living Well.

You know what is so nice about this ALDI location? If you do not live nearby, you probably do not…read morevisit. This location truly feels like a neighborhood market. It is kind of tucked away in the middle of a community. And everyone in that community comes here. I happened to find this on accident because I was not happy with my most recent visit to an ALDI. I was so happy to have stumbled upon it that it is my usual one to stop at. The proximity to me, and me not having to divert off of my road makes it that much better. Inside, depending on the day that you visit, they are very well stocked. Sometimes they might be out of an item, but that could very well be because you were just a little too late getting there. I usually take my time going up and down the aisles and end up with a full cart of items to hold me over for a while. The hold up here, like many other ALDI locations, is the registers. Every time I have visited there was only a single register open. But usually when I am here, I am in no rush.

This Aldi location is annoying. It's consistently disorganized and not clean. Most of the employees…read moredon't seem like they want to work here. The lines are always long and there are times only one employee is working. If they're not going to have self check-out, at least have adequate staffing. I'll avoid this location.

ALDI - This is exactly the kind of thing I like but they screwed it up by using a Hatch Chili purée seasoning instead of pieces of Hatch Chili's

I want to give a HUGE thank you to Mala for her exceptional customer service on Wednesday, May…read more21st. I entered the store feeling slightly embarrassed and reluctant to discuss a personal health issue I had been struggling with for quite some time. I shared with Mala that I was having severe difficulty with bowel movements and would sometimes go weeks without one. Mala immediately made me feel comfortable, supported, and completely free of judgment. She listened attentively and confidently recommended the "All In One Master Tonic" along with "Mag O." Her knowledge and compassion truly stood out. I took the tonic while still in the store after purchasing it and took the capsules before bed that evening. By 6:00 AM the next morning, I finally experienced relief -- and since then, I've been going consistently. I honestly cannot express how grateful I am. Because of the results and Mala's outstanding support, I already ordered my second bottle online today! Not being able to have regular bowel movements can seriously impact your health and quality of life, and Mala truly helped change that for me. Thank you, Mala, for your kindness, professionalism, and for quite literally helping save my life.

This Giant Food has a quite a variety of various types of food products. During my two visits, I was able to find everything that I needed (and a few things that I did not need). Also, and probably most important for me, the produce and meat sections were very clean (yes, I've repeated myself) with fresh products. I thought the prices were pretty on par with other grocery stores in the area. Actually, the prices might be a bit better because the quality of food is a bit superior to other supermarkets in the area. Also, this supermarket is quite large, which is important to me because I hate feeling claustrophobic in a store. The location is quite convenient because it located in a shopping center that has a Target, Kohls, Petsmart, and a few other businesses.

Beautiful and all so fresh and clean! I cannot believe it's the same place, it once was Shoppers…read more In the same shopping center as Target, kohl's & Aldi. I love this place, cheaper than whole foods and pretty close to being as good. They have a huge Starbucks with seating and eating area. A hot food bar, soup station, pizza area (not sure if they heat pizza up) sushi, sandwiches, salads, and so much more. Did I mention this place is GIGANTIC? It also has a lovely pharmacy and four aisles of health/organic/specialty foods.
