If you're in the neighborhood for mainstream grocery shopping this is the correct choice (out of two in the area), so long as you don't need groceries at all-hours, since they're only open until 11pm. Not to mention the selection that they have of locally-grown and organic foods that you'd be hard-pressed to get elsewhere from our local grocery stores.
Where the local Price Choppers (yes, it's a chain, and yes there's two of them very nearby) only seem to have low-enough prices from a sale or completely by accident, Hannaford is much more consistent in this category. Hannaford also beats "P.C." with fully stocked shelves at most times of day--something that can never be said about the latter--and in a very good attempt at keeping up with the changing, more eco & health-friendly, times they also have a fifth of the store dedicated to cultural foods and organic. Woot!
The one feature of the store that could use some improvement would be the checkout experience. While there's rarely a 16 year old kid constantly yammering away to their friends about the weekend (hey, I did say RARELY) like the other place where you may just happen to catch eye contact if you pay close attention before being given your total, there are physically far too few register lanes to keep up with the maddening grocery rush between the hours of 3 and 5pm most evenings, but in Hannaford's defense they haven't had the front-end updated since they were Shop n' Save quite a few years ago as far as I've witnessed anyway.
If by some chance you didn't catch it, I'm not a fan of Price Chopper. I used to be when it was a quaint little supermarket, but then it went all giganto and the quality dropped off the face of the earth (or at least the face of FulCo). read more
