I know many people who would have had no problem with driving to Fayetteville for a Whole Foods type of store. I never heard of it, never saw any advertising, no word or mouth--nothing. Shame, would have loved it.

There was a "Harry's In a Hurry" in PTC and I thought it did quite well. I know my wife and certainly patronized it. When Whole Foods bought Harry's, they decided not to keep the store in PTC. You want organic stuff? Patronize Two Doves Farm, a certified organic grower. It's on Ebenezer Church Road in Fayetteville. The owners, Twila and Larry Dove are nice folks and their produce is really good. Free-range eggs are also available. Check their web site for what's available every week. Of course the growing season is winding down now. Yep, costs a little more, but it's sure worth it. We particularly like their broccoli,califlower, and lettuce. WWW.TwoDovesFarm.com

Thanks for the link to Two Doves Farm.

For whom? Whole Foods? The developer? Whole Foods isn't in PTC because they think the market is too small for them to make money. Is the city or the developer suppose to subsidize their operations with big $$$ so they think otherwise? Same goes with Trader Joes and others and why they are not here. There is a reason why these places are in much higher population-dense areas than PTC and it's called simple economics.

For whom? Well, obviously for the citizens of PTC. We alredy have several Publix and Kroger. Nothing wrong with bringing in something new to compete....might even raise the bar a little and force the stores we already have work a little harder to EARN our business. As for YOUR comment about Whole Foods not wanting to be here because the market is too small for them to make money...how do you know this? Did you personally contact a representative from Whole Foods Corporate who told you this or are you just someone who for some reason doesn't want any competition to Publix???? It's my money, not yours and I will spend it where I please. I don't need you or anyone else to tell me how...or what... to think.

PTC citizens don't have a choice of whether Whole Foods builds in PTC or not. You seem to be missing that basic point. I could care less if you drive to Alaska to buy your groceries with your money at Eskimo Foods. No one is telling you that you can't go shop elsewhere. What you are being told is that until Whole Foods decides that they now want to build stores in smaller markets than every other Whole Foods is located in, there won't be one in PTC. It has zero to do with whether the population wants one or not.

It would be nice to have a more shopping choices in PTC but when your population is considered "small" and the surrounding areas even smaller, specialty stores like WHole Foods and Trader Joes et al aren't going to locate here. If they thought they could make money, they'd already be here.

And some think I comment harshly sometimes!!!!!! But, you!

It is just conversation for some. Me, I want another International airport in South PTC.
