    Going in the small shopping center where Mediterranean Breeze is on Ashburn Road. Who knows about it? And just down the road from the Wine'ing Butcher. I hope these are two completely different concepts.

    I wonder if the proprietors of this establishment have any idea how poor their location is.

    It appears to be open now. Haven't had a chance to go by, but they have an ice cream sign out on the side so maybe I'll have to check it out sooner than later.

    Wow! This place sounds marvelous! Did you read the menu? We're going to stop by this weekend. I hope it's as good as it looks.

    Just stopped by Prime Gourmet. Wondered around, no one present - not an assistant, owner or customer. It felt like they've gone for a soft launch - most of the cool cabinets and fridges were empty.

    Seem to have some sausage selection, but cheese selection was small an unimpressive. The rest is set up like a small grocery store with little stock to speak of - and to be honest I didn't find anything here that you couldn't get in Wegmans. Nothing really epicurous or gourmet about the produce or atmosphere. Not quite sure what they are going for here.

    There are a few tables and chairs inside, so clearly they must do sit-down options, but I saw no indication of a menu or deli counter.

    Odd, and in the location from hell. I hope they find an identity and some better stock soon.

    Thanks for the report Brit. On any given day I drive by this place at least 4 times and for some unknown reason I just can't bring myself to go look. I think it is my anticipation for the The Wining Butcher, because I really think that place is going to be awesome.

    I stopped there yesterday. Deli case and shelves fully stocked, owner there serving customers, lots of German meats, many cheeses, nice wine selection, ice cream. I know it is a bad location but I hope they can make it.

    I hear Fresh and Organic that used to be in Ashburn Village is still planning to open up in this same shopping center as well. New construction of houses all around so maybe, just maybe these two businesses will succeed.

    No that store has not open yet and is in the next shopping center . That store will be called the Wineing butcher, I think.
