Der B and I are back from the new Super G opening in Millville, DE.
The place is H U G E ! Much larger than the store where I work. Fortunately, much of it is dedicated to elbow room. While the aisles may be longer than those at "my" store, they are lit well enough so that they don't feel claustrophobic.
Der B was absolutely thrilled with their cheese shoppe (a special island close to the produce section): big selection, lots of variety. And they've got a very nice olive bar, which has other marinated goodies as well.
The butcher's shop was nice and open; over in seafood, they even had a specialist making sushi!
I "sort of" made a mistake by wearing my work shirt to the opening. All right, I wanted to be identified as a Super G employee. So, of course, one of their managers spotted me, and gave me a quizical look. I introduced myself, and told him I was from the Rehoboth store, and asked "Is there something I can help you with?" Sure enough, a truckload of shopping carts had just arrived, and I ended up helping moving them from the loading dock (their backstage area is a dream, spacious and airy) to the front of the store. Der B caught me helping out and just shook his head. You'd think he would have expected this.
As it is, one of the middle-managers who was helping open the new store will be joining my store in a week, to run our produce section. Good news, I say, since Nick was getting his start at the Rehoboth store last summer, and we got along great.
Time to get some dinner on the table.
