Not open. They said 60 days, about 60 days ago.

Thought I read somewhere, September. I believe you read about Cost U Less.

I thought Cost U Less had been open all along, but that they had had no refrigerated section?

OK, regarding Cost U Less. We never shopped there a lot, but it's nice to have another option again. And I'm sure it seems like forever for Carrefour to be non-operational, when it was your primary grocery. 60 days from when that fire happened seems like an awfully ambitious timeline to begin with.

Super U has long ago become our primary grocery store. Nor did we use Cost U More often as we don't have room to store bulk purchases. Do miss the Carrefour/GM smoked pork chops!

Elaine--OK, sorry, I thought you had said before that Carrefour was your major market, but I definitely do get why Super U would be your number 1. Over the past couple of years, we've gone to Super U more times than Carrefour (or Grand Marche before), but sometimes there are things that Super U doesn't have, like American brands..

I do get some things at Carrefour like my paper goods because I do like my brands with that sort of thing. I go to Market Garden for my milk (special brand) and cheap chicken legs! When people ask where do I shop, the reply is "depends on what I'm shopping for!" And we have two Carrefour express' just here for running out for quick stuff. Got lovely garlic (hard to find here), fresh rosemary and thyme there this morning. Lamb shank for dinner!

Not sure where you're staying, but do check out the Super U. It's a nice store! Just no US brands. Also, check out the store that has reopened in the spot where Fresh Market used to be. They looked to have lots of US brands.

Carol - Is Fresh Market the one that was at the corner of Welfare and Billy Folly (by The Atrium)?

Oh, I'm glad to hear that there's still a market there. I imagine it's changed but it should be a good 'first stop' after arrival.

deputy--unless you're cooking a lot, Market Garden is right there close to Pelican and it will suffice for what you need. It will be closer than Carrefour anyway. They have US products there. It's not Publix, but it will do!

deputy, I shopped at the French super market in Hope Estates, near Cul de Sac, last trip and couldn't figure out how to buy a box of crackers! LOL
