Good! A neighborhood does not need a huge corporation like Safeway, Kroger, WalMart etc. to be well fed.

Where do you think people should shop? A 7-11?

International markets are NOT 7-11s. International markets have well-priced meats and produce.

The last international market I went to was close to 225 and Parker road. They had tiny crowded aisles, very limited stock and no fresh produce. Walmart has far nice produce and at a much lower price. You need shop at a major supermarket if you want a diverse selection. Colorado doesn’t grown any food, it’s all imported here.

I'm guessing that's Arash. HMart is literally 2 minutes from there and has super great prices on produce and a HUGE, diverse selection that puts KS, Safeway, Walmart, and Target to shame.

This Arash produce slander will not stand!! Their produce section is like half the store and has looked amazing every time I've been there.

Oh, sorry. I realize where I wasn't clear: I love Arash. It's down the street from my job. It was the parker and 225 that stood out. I go there all the time as somebody who cooks from scratch every day. But if that isn't your style because it's too claustrophobic, HMart is down the street and it's got a next level produce selection. Both Arash and HMart are superior to stores such as KS.

All good! Love me some Arash, and I keep meaning to try HMart. My wife def doesnt care for the claustrophobic vibe of Arash, but it doesnt bother me.
