Persia Foods

Stopped by to pick up some fast groceries for dinner that night, I stopped to pick out some potatoes from the bins at the front of the store and noticed that they had whiteish spots on them and were a bit soft. I figured maybe it was just their potato game that was off, so I ventured in the store. A stock box was blocking the first aisle, once I got through that with my big ass stroller I was pretty much trapped in a world where veggies go to die.
The thing about having a big ass stroller is that once you commit to an aisle, especially in this case, sometimes there is no turning back. So I cautiously picked out a few veggies for a stir fry. Peppers were .89 per lb which I think is cheap (I am more of a Real Housewife on Bravo type than a real housewife) but all of the peppers seemed on their way out. Sure enough when I got the pick of the litter home, inside it was rotting.
I will give 2 stars for the bananas and carrots that were still in their prime but everything else is more of a type of place to go if you want to get cheap veggies/​fruits to juice (which isn’t a bad idea and I will be totally jealous if you manage to do the Sick, Fat, Nearly Dead diet and succeed where I failed).
Only one cashier, long line, fast but unsmiling service. I would not return and am just grateful that we made it out there alive and still firm unlike the veggies (not really that firm, just had a baby ya’ll)

The most competitive prices you can find on fresh groceries and pantry items in the region! What’s not to like?!

I was actually a little surprised by this place — it looks kinda creepy from the outside, with glaring neon lights, and rows of metal shelving, but one day I needed to pick up a couple of items and didn’t feel like walking far (it was post bootcamp and I had 16lbs of weights with me!)
Yes, it’s stark inside, no you’re not going to feel like idly wandering the aisles seeing what things you might absolutely want but definitely didn’t intend to come in for, but dang do they have some great prices! Without a doubt the best prices on beans I’ve found, and their produce is pretty good looking with some unique items that I like. I found some great items and will be back to peruse more when I’m not literally weighed down!
I was wavering between 3 and 4 but unfortunately the service pushed it back to a 3 — there was a long line up and only one register open, and then the woman serving me didn’t even look me in the eye. Not my favourite thing. That said, the things you can buy here are pretty great so I’ll be back!

I’ve been here a few times with friends who are on The Drive. They have amazing sales. Since there is a decent turn over of fruit even if they’re partially going they’re still amazing for smoothies. I come here for over ripped fruit for smoothies and sorbets. Great customer service. Lots of 5 for $ 1 or better sales. Expect long line ups for deals like these.

Great shop on the Drive for inexpensive fruits and veggies. The day I went lines were 10 for $ 1 (Jul ¹⁄₁₅).
They also have dried fruit and nuts inside (bulk).
Staff are friendly and courteous.
