It has certainly grown a lot since I was in missoula 12 years ago. It's sorta like a small whole foods. I miss the whole foods meal-per-pound thing. I know the good food store has something similar, but the one at whole foods was way bigger. So there was a lot more selection for a meal.

Remember how tiny the store used to be, I think I remember it being in a little shop on Russel St once.

That was when they had soft serve ice cream in the middle of the store between shelves. I remember always wanting to go shopping with my mom as a kid just so that I could get ice cream.

I had been filling out the little comment cards, asking for them to stock stuff and it never made a difference. One day I was gonna fill out another one and there was a guy at the counter, so I told him. He said that if I give some sort of contact info it would make a big difference. So I gave him my email address. Now they have organic bbq chips and stevia sweetened root beer from virgils.
And it showed up in about four days.
Pretty damn cool.

Yes, definitely more like Whole Foods now than the small shop it used to be, but I will always prefer GFS because of the customer service and selection of local products, which I rarely see in any whole Foods. It also makes me kind of proud to know that a community the size of Missoula can nurture a tiny backstreet grocery into a store whose size and popularity can compete with corporate franchises.

I really look forward to the Farmer's Market Quesadillas they have this time of year. You never really know what's inside but it's always something delicious.
