Two answers. It isn't the priciest..Fresh Market is.

It may be employee owned but it is for profit.

They carefully monitor what they can charge and they charge it. They have excellent customer service and market that well. Their produce is presented clean and beautifully. They are pretty much in close range with Walmart on what I buy frequently and they are closer TO US than Walmart. I think our Winn-Dixie has the best baked sweets.
