Red-X in Riverside
Has anyone been to the Red-X Grocery in Riverside? Is it a good grocery store? How are the prices?

Red-X in Riverside
That's one place I have managed to avoid all my life, someday curiosity will get the best of me.

Re: Red-X in Riverside
Red X is a unique KC classic. It's not only a grocery store but also a hardware store and an excellent liquor store. The grocery prices are reasonable, but they don't try to compete with Hy-Vee or Price Chopper. In my opinion, it's one of those places that you have to experience before you can truly call yourself a Kansas Citian.

I love Red X. The liquor part. Havent' bought too many groceries there though. Have shopped in the hardware part.
Of course it was cooler before the owner died and his kids sold out all of his collections of stuff and redid the place.
We always took visitors there - especially those who came to see us from STL. When we lived in STL, we shopped at the Wine Merchant. Here we shop at Red X or Gomers.
Quite a culture shock for our West St Louis County buds

Nothing like going to buy some nice wine and slipping aside to look at a collection of glass eyes.

I finally divorced beer and proposed to whiskey, but I occassionally cheat with fine wine.

I hope that the curators at the Nelson-Atkins had the good sense to buy up that collection.nota wrote:Nothing like going to buy some nice wine and slipping aside to look at a collection of glass eyes.

Do they sell bait, guns, and ammo? If they do, that's true one-stop shopping.dangerboy wrote:Red X is a unique KC classic.
