It seems like only a few years ago that I extolled the new Mini U as ”the Bloomingdale’s of grocery shopping!” I guess my mind plays tricks on me. Its designer-ish color pallet, beautiful display techniques, & flattering use of sharp, crisp lighting were nothing short of glamour in marketing of groceries, wine, & related sundries! So . . . I eagerly await the new “look” — apparently set to re-open in, more or less, a week. (Could competition of Monoprix explain it?)
“Mini U” of L’Orient

So many changes to keep in mind!
As an acolyte of Super U both large and small, this is very exciting and concerning. As most of you know, discovering my French products at a Super U and bringing them back is my personal nirvana (Ok, do NOT mention this to Dior, svp 
), even more than a fine Michelin starred resto. (OK, not more than L'Esprit or Santa Fe, but one of them will not find out..) The great thing about the big Super U vs the Express is that if you are looking for a product in the big one and don't find it, sometimes the Express one would have it. (I did not mention this to the big one, just in case it thought I was two-timing, so please keep this secret under your hat..) So I hope that there will be a bit of separation (not too much; just enough) to give one hope to find that special something if stock is out. If you need any suggestions, please let me know...and bring your extra suitcase. Unlike your husband/traveling companion, you can thank me later..

Now updated with the latest version, Restos20260212. Attached is the draft version of the latest update to my Resto List, the December 17 2025 version. I'm sure that there a few things that I missed. Please let me know if you spot an error, or something that I missed. Thanks!

I'm sure I've mentioned this before. There is an oil I've only found in the little market in Corossol, Alizee Nature Caraibes, Huile de massage Parfum Pulpe de Noix de Coco. I NEED IT!! Mine is almost done. Boohoo.
Sounds divine! I hope I find some if I ever get there!
