The supermarket features self check-out lanes. The technology is designed to

increase customers' confidence in scanning accuracy by allowing them to scan

their own merchandise, which is then placed on a conveyor belt where lasers check

and record prices against a master computer file.

A cashier monitors the procedure, assists customers as needed and accepts

payment for purchases. The new technology also helps speed up the check out

procedure, while providing an option to using the

store's traditional cashier check out lanes.

The Food Pavilion brings many specialty departments into one area of the

store including a deli staffed by a professional chef who makes original recipes,

oversees food preparation and offers customers

menu planning tips.

Shoppers can choose hometown favorites, traditional cuisine or international

cuisine, from Italian to Wok Shop prepared, made-to-order, Oriental stir-fry entrees

and side dishes.

Other store departments include: produce, with a variety of fresh fruits

and vegetables; fruit bar, offering fresh fruit salads, chilled and sliced in many

combinations; floral, featuring a wide selection

of cut flower arrangements and bouquets, potted plants and balloons; bakery, with

baked goods including breads, rolls, cakes, cookies, doughnuts and other desserts; salad

bar, where customers can create their own salad; Fisherman's Wharf Seafood, featuring

fresh fish and seafood such as shrimp, crab, crawfish and Maine lobster and Prestige

Meat, with seasoned and marinated meats ready for preparation.

The supermarket is also equipped with a full-service pharmacy, staffed by a

licensed pharmacist who fills prescriptions and offers information on over the counter

remedies.

The store is staffed by an experienced management team, presided over by

location manager Steve Futral. Store hours are 6 a.m.-12 a.m. daily, with pharmacy

hours from 9 a.m.-9 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and 1 p.m.-5 p.m. on Sundays.
