This Ingles is in the heart of West Asheville. It is much smaller and a little more funky than the other location. Still has a great selection and a lot easier to park and get in/out.

This market is quintessential Asheville. All organic and locally sourced food. One stop shopping from body soap to juice bar. We love their pre-made sandwiches and salads. Try The Hipster! Good things to take with you for a snack on a hike or touring the Biltmore. Can't tell you how much we love this little place.
