Some people hate to grocery shop but I don't mind it at all. In fact I have been so busy listing and selling that I barely have time to shop. My daughter attested to this during the summer by asking me "Mom, are you ever going to go grocery shopping again?"

The reason I don't mind grocery shopping is because of a wonderful store called Heinen's. It's located at 8383 Chippewa Rd in Brecksville, right around the corner from my office at ReMax Trinity.

The produce is fresh and often locally grown, the meat and seafood are fresh and reasonably priced, the bakery...well what can you say about a bakery...and great weekly specials.

But here is what impresses me the most. When you ask someone where an item is located, they walk you to the item! With a smile.

And that's another nice thing about Heinen's. Everyone greets you with a smile. When you get to the checkout, if you have an item that might leak, a rubber band goes around the container to prevent that. And then of course, there is the parcel pick up. Take a number and pull your car up so that your groceries can be placed in your trunk or back seat! Fantastic during the winter months!

If you have not shopped at Heinen's, make it a point to go there. You will enjoy the experience.
