gourmet glatt is between 20 -30 cents more on some items but meat section is very nice!

What is KRM?

Gourmet Glatt has a wider selection, and it's a prettier place to be, but it is a lot more expensive...

Whoops! So funny. In my head I am comparing it to brachs and seasons.... Hence the wider selection comment!

I got the impression that Gourmet Glatt was trying to be a BP version of Pomegranate. I haven't been there, though, that's just the impression I got from their PR. So, somewhat pricier but for people looking for a classy shopping experience and maybe higher-class selection of things like more exotic fruits or ingredients? KRM is inexpensive and big but definitely not what you'd call an experience. No ambiance or anything. I don't care, though, I go for the inexpensive and big! I don't do grocery shopping for the "experience!"

Well... "trying to be." I guess not succeeding.

I walked into Gourmet Glatt once just to check it out and see if they had a specific item. They didn't.
I love the KRM and especially now, since GG opened, I find it's less crowded at the KRM Smile

Better for me!
I am used to it there and love their sales and great prices. I don't need gourmet. I just need plain and simple and that's what the KRM has to offer. Also, I noticed they have a better selection since GG opened. Guess they're trying to keep up with the competition!

I go to Gourmet Glatt when KRM is out of an item or I forgot to get it and reminded myself at the checkout... I don't like the fact there is no where to park or chain my carriage so I can put the baby in a shopping cart. GG did have more of a selection of frozen ready meals and tofutti ice cream selections, 2 things KRM always lacked in. also GG is a change, am shopping in KRM since I'm a little kid...

I also found gourment has more special items like organic eggs that I usally had to go to the health food store. 0ne time I needed a special bekelah and krm didn't have it. krms sushi is for sure better.

I thinkkrm is more basics typical stuff that everyone buys. Gg is more like pomegranate, a bit fancier/upper class etc.

Does GG deliver to Crown Heights? KRM does but they charge extra.
