This has been an exciting week for Sunnyvale. On Wednesday, the new Sprouts Market opened on El Camino, and put 100 local residents to work.
I stopped in briefly on opening day, picked up my green shopping bag, and made a quick sightseeing tour.
Over 4000 locals showed up for the opening, and I knew that was not the time to shop.
Instead, I woke up at 6:00am on Friday, and arrived at the nearly empty store at its 7:00 O'clock opening time. On this visit, there was plenty of opportunity to shop, and the staff was proud to show me the products in the new store. The produce was beautiful, and specials like four large mangoes for a dollar will keep me coming back. Meats were all-natural...no hormone additives... and there was really fresh seafood, plus dozens of bins containing grains, nuts, dried fruits, and all kinds of granola and sweets.
The other addition to the city was the "new" Murphy Avenue, which opened just in time for the Art and Wine Festival this weekend. I dropped by this morning and was impressed by the expanded sidewalk seating and welcoming sign.
