I didn’t realize the CPM folks owned their building, either. That makes me much less hopeful that anything similar will ever open in Oakhurst. Obviously the owner of that building (Vision Properties? – know I’ve heard lots of negative stuff about whoever it is) is asking way too much for rent or somebody would have taken a chance on a grocery concept there now that the neighborhood has pretty much gentrified. It could definitely work if the rent was reasonable. There are so many families with disposable income in walking distance, plus it would be easy for folks living in Winona Park, East Lake, Kirkwood and Greater Decatur to stop in on their way home from work for whatever needs they have. It would definitely need an extensive beer and wine selection, organic foods and some basic produce and bakery items. Basically just exactly like CPM. I’ll keep dreaming…

It’d be nice if they’d do a survey to see where they could tweak their selections a bit. But they are reliable for the basics. And the cashiers are friendly. If they’d just make 1 lane a self check- out, they’d be darn near perfect!
