If we’re going to have a chain store in that location I would much rather see either a Walgreens for those of us who “won’t step foot in the CVS” , or a store like Marshals or TJ MAXX that sells home wares, and practical, affordable goods like kids clothes and socks and underwear. As much as I like Grossout, we have enough grocery stores in town.

So how do we contact this gentleman Mr Schwab and let him know that we do not want a grocery outlet in Sebastopol .

I think the grocery outlet would be a balloon to our community: from the coast throughout West County. Other than Luckys, which is pretty bleak in my opinion, every other grocery store is overpriced frankly that encourages me to go to grocery outlet in Santa Rosa. I usually stop at Imwallie’s on the way home because their produce is much fresher and affordable than Andy’s. I had shopped it Fircrest for decades and the only advantage now are the wider aisles. Their prices are so high. I have always hoped for a Trader Joe’s here, but I feel that grocery outlet is a really good choice a couple of years ago, the day before Thanksgiving, there were volunteers from Redwood credit union at grocery outlet in Santa Rosa, helping to pay for buyers groceries. I think that’s the kind of spirit that makes a difference for well-being and generosity. Barbara A Harris.

With all the fine grocery stores in town, why another? Aren't Lucky and Andy's already discount? Replacing Whole Foods would be a good idea. Interesting to see a rich guy from LA owns the old Rite Aid lot where they now have paid parking.

The reality of ”buy local” but where the owner isn’t, and our money leaves town.
