I feel like this specific question has not been asked, but if it has feel free to direct me to it if it has. My group and I are starting to put together a shopping itinerary for the supplies needed during Bonnaroo. While I love everyone I'm going with, and can't wait to see them we have very separate views on lifestyle arrangements.
To sum up quickly, in years past going to Wal-Mart and getting all the shopping done in one stop is perfectly fine because it saves time and effort where as I shudder walking into one thinking about the environmental, social, and personal impacts I can cause in just one visit. . .
Anyways, my group this year has been graceful to let me have a chance to do some research to see if I could find some other retailers that could also fulfill our shopping needs. Hence, I thought I would ask here and see if anyone has any suggestions . . .
Here's the agreed upon details of my group:
Were all meeting up in Atlanta on Thursday morning at the airport, and want to do shopping close to the airport or on the way to Bonnaroo. At the top of the list is finding an adult beverage and all ages food locations. Particularly, while we wouldn't die from having an all domestic beer selection over the weekend, we certainly wouldn't mind finding a place that would be able to offer us a more rounded canned beer selection. Food is somewhat of an specific interest of mine because I'm a vegetarian and would like to find somewhere that could offer a nice selection of produce, and healthy snacks (to go nicely with the beer! ;D)
Quick question....do you know what route you are taking to Bonnaroo from ATL? Because there is this place called Harry's Market that has several locations in the ATL area that is my FAVORITE store....like an international farmers market....organic products, international foods, the FRESHEST produce and the best international beer and wine selection....plus prepared deli foods - WONDERFUL! If I know what route you are taking I'll find the one closest to your way out for you... ;D
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I am pretty sure that all the Harry's are gone, due to Whole Foods coming in and taking over. But there are other options - like Whole Foods, which is off of Ponce De Leon, about a mile away from the 75/85 connector. Whole Foods is basically a fancy more expensive version of Harry's, which is good and bad.
Also, Trader Vics just got in town, there is one on Monroe and 10th Street, about 1.5 miles from the 75/85 Connector, that has cheap beer, good selection, etc. Lots of other cheap type items.
And in case you did not, liquor/beer stores in Georgia are called Package stores, so if you see a sign for one of those, you probably just found a good spot for all kinds of beer. A really good one that is right off the highway is called Mac's, just next to GA tech. They have a nice selection of beer.
Yeah, I saw that Whole Foods bought out Harry's, but I think they are still keeping the Harry's brand alive. At least last I checked. But that was a couple months ago....Whole Foods is OK though....better than the average bear of a food market....
EDIT: Looks like they closed the Duluth Harry's and built a new Whole Foods Market, but kept the Marietta and Roswell Harry's and the Harry's in a Hurry Locs...All the other's are Whole Foods.....

Are you talking Trader Vic's or Trader Joe's? I know Trader Joe's is new to Atlanta, and if you can swing by one you will not be disappointed. Lots of great non-perishable vegitarian stuff, beer (in cans) wine and liquor -- cheap too.
