Should Fresh & Easy Come to Sierra Madre?

Local news sources say that the grocery chain Fresh & Easy is looking to open in Sierra Madre, right where Taylor's Market currently sits. Do you think this is a good idea?

Reports on Sierra Madre News Net and Mountain Views News say that the grocery chain Fresh & Easy has submitted an application to operate in Sierra Madre. Their desired location? Where currently sits.

The plans call for tearing down the existing building and constructing an entirely new one on the lot, according to Sierra Madre News Net.

Sierra Madre is lacking when it comes to grocery shopping, and it's hard to ignore the convenience of a food store like Fresh & Easy. But, would it fit with Sierra Madre's village atmosphere?

Plus, where would Taylor's go? Taylor's has long been a favorite of mine. I love the smiling employees, and their meat products are the freshest and best-tasting I've encountered in the area. I'm pretty sure my Thanksgiving would not have been as tasty without a turkey from Taylor's.

So- what do you think? Should Fresh & Easy come to Sierra Madre, or would you rather keep the chain out of town? Take our poll and let us know in the comments.

What are these "organizations that can assist educators in providing an additional incomeRead More source for school supplies?" What are the other "big retailers" besides Staples that are helping teachers with rewards programs? This is a great subject but there is little detail here beyond a link to the Staples program. Would love to read a follow up piece with more useful information.
