Grocery shopping can be a stressful experience. Whether you’re grabbing a last minute ingredient, stockpiling food for the next week or two from a massive list or simply dodging the crowds, grocery shopping stress can be lessened by visiting a store that provides those items that you crave.

Why do you shop at Sofo’s?
“My very first job in Toledo was actually with Sofo’s. I worked in the salad bar. I live in Waterville now, but whenever I’m on this side of town I always stop in and see what they have. It’s nostalgic, and I love supporting local.”
