f you live near a Gelson's Market, but haven't shopped there yet, maybe it's time you stop by. At Gelson's, we are committed to providing you with an enjoyable shopping experience that will make you want to return again and again. "Our goal is to spoil our customers," says Bob Stiles, President.

What makes us different? We've listed a few of the reasons.

• Gelson's is a leader in food safety, cleanliness and sanitation and trains associates to handle food properly.

• Our checkstands are designed so the checker unloads your groceries - you don't have to bother with stacking your selections on the counter.

• End-aisle displays offer exceptional savings - look for the savings listed on the easy to read signs. These displays change weekly, so stock up on your favorite items!

• Look for Gelson's monthly newsletter, available 2 weeks out of each month. It includes special prices, recipes, new items, food tips and a message from our president.

• No-Clip coupons offer savings on selected items throughout the store - without having to belong to a club.

• Gelson's employs a full-time staff dietitian to answer your questions or help you with a dietary plan.

• The wine department offers a 10% discount off the purchase price of any combined six bottles of wine (750 ML.).

• Look for Dick Williams' personal choice tags on wine and liquor items.

• In the meat and seafood department, feel free to ask for special cuts of meat and fish that you don't see displayed in the case.

• In the service deli, you can order lunch or cater your next party with the help of our catering specialists.

• Our floral designers will gladly help you put together a bouquet, centerpiece or floral arrangement; and delivery service is available.

• Product demonstrations are scheduled throughout the week so that you can try new products.
