Yonger is a rare shop, in my humble opinion, for east coast since healthy choices both in markets and eateries are like trying to find a needle in a haystack so my heart happy knowing this exists here not far from where we stayed at just minutes from our children's maternal great-grandparents home. So many wonderful options and staff was friendly from the time we walked in to the moment of checkout. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who's looking for more sustainable items or at least a healthier choice here and there.

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.

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.

HR approved my request. the manager still refused it. he said there is a bench right there. when they had a lot of customers I can't walk over there and sit for a second while in the middle of a transaction. waiting for a receipt to come out or something . he said there is no room. he could have put me on a register down further. but no. they put me on a register by the door where I was instructed to keep an eye on people walking in and out. worst job experience of my life. they even said "I have an employee with cancer and one with an aneurysm, we don't accommodate them. why should we accommodate you?" That's disgusting behavior. I never went back after that. I can't believe they treat their employees like that. no wonder the cashiers always look depressed.

Enter Roomful of Nuts. A paradise of natural foods and CRAFT beer in a state where it should be plentiful. Too bad Franklin was a little late to the organic party and this is the only place that carries a good selection of everything you would need. I think it is pretty hilarious that my first kombucha was in Franklin, NC. They have a wall of bulk goods that are supremely inexpensive and a selection that competes with Whole Foods. I picked up nutritional yeast, wheat berries, cashews, curry powder, bottles and bottles of locally brewed beers, some essential oils, and some whole food vitamins. The owner was incredibly helpful and we left knowing another night in Franklin wasn't going to be spend beer-less.
