Hi all- been reading for quite a few months- thought I'd try to get
involved- some great insights here. I'm in the Seattle area, and
recently discovered a grocery store I know I'll be returning to. Trying
to avoid the nasty Friday commute home on Hwy 99 in Federal Way, I made
my husband stop at this store we've driven by, but never stopped at.
It's called H Mart. It is catered to the Asian community.Some of the
most beautiful produce I've ever seen, even if I didn't know what it
was. Also, lots of fresh looking fish. We bought some tenderloins for
10.99 a lb. and they were like butter. Anyway, I enjoy looking in
grocery stores for unusual items, and this store is definitely one to
see- 312th and Hwy 99

Do you have a Nugget near you? Go for the experience. I went into my
first one (Vacaville) yesterday. Their vegetable department is
absolutely beautiful!

They are in the process of building a new Nugget supermarket in
Roseville, CA at Pleasant Grove Blvd and Sunset Blvd. This is near
Interstate 80 at Hwy 65.

It will probably be finished and ready to open in the fall of 2006 or
spring of 2007.

Ever since my girlfriend (who works in Davis, where there are two of them)
told me how good the Nugget markets are, I've been watching that
construction with great interest. Your location is off by more than a mile,
though; the Roseville Nugget will be located at Pleasant Grove Boulevard and
Fairway Drive.

The chain has a web site which lists its other stores. There are several in
the Sacramento area. (see http://www.nuggetmarket.com/ for details.)

Geez, the "products of the week" ground turkey burger sure looks awful!
Somebody left the kitchen while that puppy was cooking! That and the 8%
charge for premade turkey burgers vs. ground "roll yer own"! The BUMS!!!

You're right. Fairway at Pleasant Grove Blvd. I should have zoomed
closer into Yahoo Maps. There has been a sign on that corner for a
couple of years announcing that the Nugget was coming. It would
probably have been built by now if the site wasn't so rocky.

The site they picked to build on was full of 6-inch rounded rocks. The
rocks look like they were once on a river bottom. The contractors set
up some equipment that makes the place look like a gravel pit. They
have been digging and sifting the soil at the site for over a year,
separating the rocks and hauling them away. Recently they finally
started building the shopping center.

I hope Nugget management knows that a site near the Phelan Loop (Balboa
Park Station project) here in San Francisco is in the beginning stages
of the redevelopment process and a grocery store is planned as part of
the complex. From what I saw of it, Nugget would be a very nice
addition to the neighborhood.

In my little corner of the world, "Nugget" is a brand of shoe polish.

Nugget markets are terrific. I work in Davis at the Uni, and stop by
those markets whenever I can. The one on Covell (?) is practically a
tourist attraction in and of itself! It would be so cool if they
would build one near S. Natomas where I live.

Nice area.... we looked seriously at Natomas Park for a couple of
years. It was too soon to move though, so we've dropped it. American
Canyon is closer to the city and between various scattered relatives,
so we're looking there now. I won't retire for a couple of years, so
we still have lots of looking time ahead of us. Ultimately, we'll
probably just downsize and stay in the city.

Natomas Park is North Natomas, not south. South is not a particularly
nice neighborhood. Think "wrong side of the tracks".

I'm kind of hoping that American supermarkets clue up
that the Asian supermarkets kick their ass by not caring
about the ambiance and caring a lot about the food.
