Sexy Stores

"Some of the greater things in life are unseen; that's why you close your eyes when you kiss, cry, or dream." ---Author Unknown

Is it I, or are there some stores that just have a sexy feel to them? I am not speaking about lingerie or novelty stores; I am talking about ordinary grocery and department stores. I remember when I was in High School there was one store that had a sexy feeling to it. If I recollect the name properly, it was Weinstocks. The company, sold twice; any remaining stores are now Macy’s. However, the store I frequented during and shortly after High School is no longer standing. Recently, I have visited a few stores within the state I reside that I find rather sexy or perhaps a better word is luring.

No, I am not talking Home Depot or Lowes. However, they are running a very close second. =) Harmon’s is a locally owned company that is building new stores that are amazing. They are also remodeling their old stores to have the same feel. The amazing thing about these new stores is that I find them to have a wonderful mix of organic, non-organic, healthy and unhealthy foods. The lighting, display and variety are wonderful. Be ye warned that their salad bar by the ounce can set you back a good ten bucks for a salad to go. Stay away from the heavy items such as dressings, pineapple, etc. Their non-sale prices are steep on many items, but I guess building a sexy store as opposed to a Walmart with skylights and warehouse lighting costs a bit more to build and maintain.

The cream of the crop for me though is a new Whole Foods location. This new store, built a few blocks from their old location. I did not think it would be that much different. Boy was I wrong. This new Whole Foods is a sexy store. I feel healthier just walking through the isles. Looking around at all the amazing, healthy people shopping makes me feel thinner, healthier and more gorgeous! I put my best game forward and place only organic produce, vegetables and vegan items in the cart when others are watching or I think they are watching. When no one is looking, I sneak over to the bakery for an amazingly, mouth-watering gluten free soft chewy cookie. I mean a raw celery stick with a side of broccoli. ;-)

Yes, I love to spend the occasional Monday browsing the isles looking for that one perfect product. I love people watching at this store and the environment is very luring and appealing. A relative of mine informed me that their pizza from the deli area is incredible. I can tell you from experience, I mean I have heard rumors, that their soft-chewy cookies are exceptional. I must not be the only health food shopper sneaking over to the bakery, because many times they are out of my favorite. Probably the beautiful people I was creeping on in the isles have already been there. I never thought a grocery store would feel sexy or that shopping there would be so appealing and luring. I enjoy visiting these two companies and their newest stores.
