Well, it's disappointing to me. As someone who lives in "Bud Lite & Fried Chicken" Fern Creek, this was my go-to market when I want something more upscale than Kroger. It's easy to get to without dealing with all of that Shelbyville Road/Mall traffic BS that comes with Whole Foods/Trader Joe's/Fresh Thyme/Lucky's. Don't get me wrong. I like all of them for varying reasons (each has their niche pull on my pocketbook), but I'd much rather have better options than Walmart and Kroger closer to my home.
I've been holding out hope that Southpointe Commons (which seems to be in a perennial state of UNdevelopment even though the signs still say opening 2018) would bring us heathens out in the southeast corner at least one option (Rainbow Blossom, are you listening?). At one point, Fresh Thyme was going in across from SC, but they've backed down from that now. Last I heard, they're talking about putting in something like a Home Depot or Lowe's in SC, and we have both within a 10 minute drive already.
