Pros

You can go out and exercise on the Boise greenbelt or ride you bike to work and still get off on time for a small commute home in Boise or sounding cities.

Cons

Everyone has been telling the company for years to lower the prices on food and products but they still have to do all these fancy pricing, which really doesn't make someone to shop for a couple hundred worth of groceries when you can get 50% off at any other competing store.
