This is a brand-new Ingles grocery and closest to the house (less than 12 minutes). They have a Starbucks, hot deli food, pizza, Chinese, wing bar, salad bar, and olive/Mediterranean bar. Good sales for beer and wine. They also have a gas station. I have Ingles discount cards hanging on the key rack that you can use for weekly deals.
