Harris Teeter

I moved to Charlotte area 3 months ago and there are a few things I miss about Chicagoland, one of which is Mariano’s, the awesome grocery chain with quality food, reasonable prices and helpful employees. In fact, I was shocked to find that overall grocery is more expensive here than in Chicagoland.
The three grocery chains in the Charlotte area (Publix, Harris Teeter and Food Lion) can’t compare to Mariano’s, but I like Harris Teeter better than the other two. Two things have stood out for me about this Harris Teeter: bakery and pet food. Their bakery makes multigrain croissant, which I have grown to like because of Mariano’s. I bought some Ricotta cheesecake and Tiramisu from their dessert case (when they were on sale), both of which were worth the calories. The artisan bread selection is good, though again I miss Mariano’s artisan bread, especially the fact that they allow you to buy less than a full loaf quantity (even just a few slices if you want).
In the pet food isle, I have found some lesser known brand with quality ingredients and reasonable prices. The big brands are often on sale.
The selection of craft beers is good with many local beers. Too bad that they don’t offer mix & match 6 pack, like, guess where? Mariano’s!
I have tried some of the soups in their prepared food section, and they were pretty good.

Just stood in line while two cashiers discussed bad customer service at another location without even acknowledging my presence! How ironic! Well for that wonderful example of ‘customer service’ you get one star. And you don’t even deserve that!

I love «My Harris Teeter». I most recently visited here to get crab meat that was advertised as buy one, get one free. While in a can, it’s obviously not completely fresh, it’s still decent quality and trumps nasty imitation any day. This particular trip, they were completely out of the advertised crab meat. The butcher lady initially said that there was a recall. Then she said that the meat had been discontinued and she wasn’t sure why they would advertise it. I concluded that she didn’t really know why it had been pulled. Nevertheless, I simply got the Harris Teeter brand crab meat and they substituted it at customer service without any hassle. This is why I love Harris Teeter and keep coming back. Their food is more expensive than most everywhere else, but the customer service is outstanding and they’ll pretty much do anything you ask for that’s reasonable.

Evic, weekly specials and coupons always make my trips to Harris Teeter exciting. They have the best deals. I’m new to couponing but I’m definitely convinced it’s worth it!

This store is always spotless and generally well-​stocked. The do however tend to run out of their advertised specials before the sale ends. The store is well laid out, prices a little higher than the other supermarkets in the area, however their selection is greater and quality of their product is higher. I generally stop here once or twice a week for dinner items and am never disappointed. The staff s friendly and always helpful, making shopping at this location as enjoyable as grocery shopping can be.

This store is well put together and in a shopping center close to rite-​aid, red bowl Asian bistro, wendys, pizza hut, Bojangles and etc… clean store and very easy to find things…

It’s the best of the grocery stores in my area, in my opinion. It’s clean and well-​lit. The prices are a tad higher, but with a better selection available for what I usually purchase. I do shop elsewhere on occasion for things HT does not carry and more convenience as there are a few closer stores.

So tomorrow night is the first night of Hanukkah. YAY! Oh wait I think I need to get some Hanukkah candles. I think I should stop at Harris Teeter on the way home from work.
I have not been normally shopping here, but it was the first grocery store that I pass on the way home. I have shopped at this Harris Teeter since about 2001. They used to have a little bank attached where I opened up my first bank account with Bank of America. It has always been a nice grocery store that reminded me of the ones back home in NJ.
This morning there was pretty much no one inside other than employees just chilling and getting ready for the evening ahead. So here was my list. Dish-​washing detergent, Hanukkah candles, and tofu. Pretty simple. The only thing is I do not know where to find 2 of above mentioned items. Luckily before I began my long and tedious I found some help.
A very friendly man, who by his attire and name tag appeared to be the manager, walked right in front of me. He was very helpful at first giving me a little walk through to show me the great selection of tofu they had. At least for me it was great. ²⁄₄ $ and it was organic or what not. there a decent amount of choices.
However the 3 stars is only because when I asked where the Hanukkah stuff was he said they do not carry anything. He did point me to kosher foods, and when I was in the isle he gave further assistance. This is what I saw. A few boxes of matzoh on bottom shelf one two boxes of some other stuff, and some… HANUKKAH Candles and also Shabot candles. One thing I can not stand is not knowing what you carry. Nobody try to say it is not his fault, or he may have not known. I just got upset that when I asked he said NO with a very sure voice. I can appreciate an I do not know let us fund out.
Anywho I got my things, paid at the self ring register, and was let down one more time. They used to always have these scrumdidilumpcious sugar cookies waiting for you at the exit door. They even had low fat ones! I was disappointed they were were missing. May I note they were not there the last time either. Overall shopping went well. Always a nice place to shop. And for an Jews trying to find some last minute candles, yes Harris Teeter has them.
Please Harris Teeter bring back my free surprise for being a goodboy at the grocery store!!!

They are in the middle of a renovation to make it even better. Fresh produce selection is great and very fresh. Pricing is a little higher than WalMart across the street, but quality is so much better!
I don’t shop for many of the preboxed, processed items — mostly fresh meat and produce (a paleo lifestyle — as much as possible). Staff is very friendly here and it is convenient to my house, till I move late March to uptown!
I will shop here again…
