Small grocery store
Whitneyville Food Center is a small family-owned grocery store with a deli. The deli includes a number of vegan items which are clearly labeled. The store sells fancier food than usual grocery stores such as expensive chocolates, organic food, specialty items, good fresh breads, and some organic produce. You can also find soy milk, tempeh, Amy's burritos, and other vegan and vegetarian frozen meals.
They take special orders (e.g. a case of soy milk, a certain flavor of So Delicious "ice cream", etc.) They also cater and do home deliveries.

For a little neighborhood store, this has a surprisingly good selection of vegan, vegetarian, and organic options. To give it a higher rating, I would like to see more vegan options. Silk Plus (with DHA) soy milk would be good for example. Replacing Tofuti ice cream with So Delicious Purely Decadent ones would also be a good idea (and it would lead to more sales).
The store has a nice neighborhood feel; the sales people are very friendly and seem to know their customers by name.
You can put in special orders (e.g. I have ordered a case of Silk Plus soy milk a few times).
