My absolutely favorite place to shop for groceries. I can find everything I need every week for dinner. The deals are great, especially with the double manufacturers coupons. The produce is fresh. I love the salad bar inside. All of the staff are always very friendly and nice. The only downside is I have yet to find the peanut butter, not a necessity though.

May not always have the best prices on food but the floral department, especially Olivia, is amazing. They make beautiful bouquets with tissue paper and ribbon with any bouquet, even those on clearance, (for free!). Olivia made a very inexpensive bouquet (like $ 5) into a professional looking bouquet that looked like it was $ 40 – 50! She was so friendly and professional. I will definitely return to her!
If you don’t mind the line, the sandwich department is awesome. They are at least twice the size of subways and the same cost or less. I only wish they could get more people or more efficiency in the process.
and who could resist the free sugar cookies :-)

Do not use the bakery for cupcakes. I bought the cutest looking fish cupcakes for my daughter’s birthday party. They were awful! You really know how bad a cupcake is if kids will not eat them. We threw them away due to taste not texture or décor. I’m so glad a had a backup Farm Fresh cake.

I love shopping here because I know when I step foot in here, I will step into a clean and organized store. Items are generally easy to find. The produce looks so fresh! I’d be surprised if you find any rotting fruit or veggies here like some grocery stores that won’t be named. Prices can be RIDICULOUS at times. However, the VIC card helps out some. I can usually find items that aren’t carried by other stores (such as soy wrappers). The employees seem friendly enough. Overall, a pretty good store where you will enjoy your shopping experience for the most part.

They have some of the best produce in my area. And they keep it well stocked even over the weekend.
The deli has a lot more offerings than other grocery stores.
The wine/​beer selection is great and you get a discount for volume purchasing :-)
The seafood dept has always been helpful. They don’t carry a lot of organic meats though and I wish they did. You can get it sometimes but I haven’t found it consistently and the organic chicken I did get one time was absolutely awful. But they do have Bison which is great.
They offer a lot of variety of groceries but I do wish they would put the specialty items on one row set apart from other things. Some gluten free items are labeled but others are not. It’s not easy to find specialty items.
There is a large beauty area, a pharmacy, and flowers/​cards.
My only complaint is the staff up front. Teens need to learn to not talk to each other about their escapades last night. Talk to your customer. Not the bag boy about his druggie girlfriend. It’s a constant issue… the teens upfront talking about stuff to each other that isn’t appropriate for young kids to hear. They bag ok here, but no discount for your own bags.
I like HT. Just a few changes could make it great.

I always shop the perimeter of the store to keep my family as healthy as possible. I love how often they mark down fruits and veggies. That’s where I go first.
Their fresh baked breads are awesome!

The wife & i visited this brand new store yesterday to pick up a few items. My wife has shopped here almost every week because she has some coupons for $ 10 off of $ 40.00+ purchase. She mostly buys steaks that are on sale and loads up our freezer. Yesterday we bought mostly items that were on sale, spent just over $ 40.00, and got the $ 10.00 off.
The store is super clean, well organized and considering it had not been open long the staff seem to be pretty darn good. They did their job like they had been there for years.
As for the prices don’t shop here unless you have coupons. The regular prices are considerably higher than our regular store, Kroger.
It’s a nice store but I can’t say that the food or store is any better than the nearby Kroger and Farm Fresh is better than both when it come to organization. However, if you do coupons as the daughter does, I you could make out pretty good.
I have been told that the sub sandwiches are reasonable and good so that will be the next review. For now, good marks for the store but not for the prices.
