How do you offer frozen veggies? How do you prevent nutrient loss, protect from contamination and spoilage, keep crunchy things crunchy and bendable things unbent? Packaging....not such a bad idea....
Okay this is really not a revolutionary idea there is a local market here in San Francisco (Rainbow Grocery) that provides a number of bulk options but what you are trying to launch will be very hard for most to adopt.
Heck our local Rainbow Grocery has over 800 bulk items and that is not even counting their herbs, teas, coffees, cheeses or bakery items and they provide a packaging credit when you bring your own container.
What's up with what appears to be wax paper that the stick of butter's wrapped in? I agree with Puleczech that this is not really a new idea (pre-1800's anyone?) but it's an idea whose time has clearly come again. Best wishes for great success!
What do you do with, let's say upstate New York in the winter? If you want to only eat seasonal produce, you would be eating balls of ice!!! Food needs to be transported from one place to another. This is a good idea, but think what needs to be done in areas where fresh produce is not available.
Somebody reinvented wheel here. What's way more interesting and even miraculous than opening this shop in 2011? The fact that people find this as a good idea as late as 2011.
I love this, I was wondering why this hadn't been done before either, I took a Food Environments course last fall in NYC and was hoping we'd see something like this in Texas. Consider expanding soon to San Antonio please.
Come to Portland, OR!!!
