So, I'm in my mid-40s and had never been to Trader Joe's before last fall, which my Boyfriend…read morethought was hilarious - so a few months ago we stopped in Burlington just so I could check it out. We came back again today as well. I regret not going sooner! So much to see. LOVE "Everything but the bagel" and also the mushroom umami spice thingy. Amazing cheese selection. Great staff - Boyfriend was looking at some onion pretzel things and one of the ladies working there brought him samples to try without him even asking. We will be back often!

This is the most amazing grocery store I have ever been to. We are from the Boston area, and this…read moreplace makes Whole Foods laughable--both in terms of selection and price. We call it "Whole Foods on crack" because it's next level with the speciality imports, gluten free/vegan offerings, organic items, and generally cool, local stuff. It's also not as expensive as you might think. I find the layout and organization extremely confusing. We have been several times, and I still somehow cannot get through the store in a timely, efficient manner. The aisles are windy and labyrinth-esque. I remember reading reviews for this before we went for the first time and rolling my eyes, but I get it now -- not a HUGE deal, but takes away from the shopping experience just a smidge. That said, I'm obsessed with this place and we go ALL the time now to stock up on things we can't get anywhere else.

While their hot foods section closed before I got there, due to a labor shortage, there was still plenty of food such as tofu, nuts, dried fruits, and greens, to make a tasty and healthy dinner. The store is well lit with nicely spaced aisles and a logical layout. All of the employees were friendly and helpful. I was most exciting by their selection of apples! I ended up settling on a Cox's Orange Pippin, but spent a solid ten minutes reading the various tags. The street is currently torn up by road construction, but should look even better in a year!

RE: Hannaford, University Mall, SOBU…read more.. Where do I begin? It starts in the parking lot where there's a license plate reader (that pole with the cameras and blinking lights) which also records your car and it's characteristics (stickers, dents, etc. They then match that data with your payment method in the store after recording your face using the three-point system. Distance between your eyes, and down to your mouth. This is BAD already. They sell this information to God knows who, not to mention, the police. Entering Hannafords lot is where tracking your movements begin. There are video screens showing you moving about the aisles--every aisle. This is used as intimidation. You see your pretty face in HD at the cash registers also. Self checkout? You save Hannaford money by doing their work. The reward? I was stopped at the door today by a girl who says "I need to see your receipt." OK... Everything checked out correctly. The girl says "Oh that happens sometimes." No apology, by the way. They treat customers like they're idiots. I know that I was stopped because one of the lackeys in loss-prevention watching the video console decided I looked like a good candidate to harass. There's no anti-theft devices on their groceries. Where would they put them--inside the overpriced chicken quarters I paid for??? The community at-large accepts this invasion of privacy and is happy to act as a free cashier for the store with self-checkout. So yeah, I can see where they feel that we're suckers. But again, I just loved being stopped at the door after paying for my groceries. Should you ever be wrongfully detained, take out your phone and call the police and have the officer ask for the video showing your "suspicious behavior." Nothing will come of it, but you can disrupt their store operation, making it expensive to have improperly stopped you. Dear Hannaford, please accept my middle finger as a gift to you, and as a sweetener I'm transferring all of my precriptions to Price Chopper/Market32. With the prices you charge, it's you who are the crooks. Stop projecting... Try to be sure before you stop customers at the door, you half-witted morons. Two words for you... Lowes, Walmart, and Home Depot also have these privacy-violating technologies on their properties. Too bad I can't buy all of my groceries reliably online from an online retailer outside of Vermont... I would if I could. One more time: TWO WORDS FOR HANNAFORD!
