I've been shopping at Home Economist - I mean, Healthy Home Market - on Independence for years. The parking lot may have potholes, the interior has a dingy, dated look -albeit not on purpose-, and it doesn't have a snazzy juice and coffee bar like the South Blvd store but it's the one closest to my house so it's the one I frequent. But this review isn't about the Independence HHM...\n\nLocated next to Party City at the Galleria (on the opposite side of the parking lot from Walmart), this new HHM has a cramped feeling about it. Upon entrance there is a small juice/coffee bar to the left but there's so much signage (posters and such) that I was turned off from checking to see if they offer wheatgrass. Take four steps inside the store and you are at the cash registers. Yes, the same can be said about the other locations but at those HHMs the sliding doors don't open directly in front of the register area - they do here as there is only one entrance/exit (also different from the other CLT area stores).\n\nAlthough this space is new, clean, bright, and carries the same brands and products I've come to expect from HHM, I'm just not feeling it. Will give it another go though as it is a locally owned business that regularly supports and features local non-profits. \n\nOne more thing. I was a little bummed this location's bulk goods section didn't have the crystallized ginger I usually buy at the Independence location.
