A big change has come to the New Garden Giant: in the section of the produce aisle where there used to be potatoes, onions, garlic and shallots, there are now refrigerated cases of beer and wine for sale. Next to the salad bar, they've installed a counter with stools where shoppers can take a break to eat and drink.
"Ron, please report to the Beer Garden," I heard on the P.A. system as I was shopping late on Friday morning.
Two women were reviewing the beer selection and I overheard one of them say, "It's not like I want to get drunk, exactly …."
As I'm sure you read in last week's paper, the New Garden Giant is one of the 59 Giants in the state with a liquor license. (The Acme in Avondale has been selling beer and wine for some time.)
A friend of mine who works at the Longwood Giant and very much enjoys the occasional tipple says she's tempted to apply for a transfer to the Kennett store.
