Compare Foods: Raleigh grand opening
Last weekend, we attended the Durham Latino Festival in Forest Hills Park in Durham. Just down the street on University Drive is a Compare Foods grocery store. We had wanted to check it out since reading about the chain on Sue Stock’s Taking Stock blog.
Compare Foods caters to a largely Hispanic clientele. Since Dave and I are taking beginning Spanish classes at Wake Tech, we’re always on the hunt for “all things Latino.” Compare Foods has a wide selection of fresh and packaged products that you won’t find in conventional U.S. grocery stores. The chain grew out of a store started by the Peña family in Woodside, Queens, and now has close to 30 locations nationwide.
Three of the stores are in the Triangle, with a new one just opening on Garner Station. Check them out, and you’ll feel like a virtual traveler to points south of the border!
