    I have been shopping at this Food Lion for 3+ years since I moved to Creedmoor, and my partner has…read morebeen even longer, and I'm not sure what's going on but there has been a noticeable drop in quality over the summer. The selection has always been limited, and I expect that from a small town Food Lion, but I used to at least be able to go here and stock up on staples that don't need to be fancy. Now I'm frustrated to the point where I don't even feel like it's worth my time to do that. I no longer purchase much fresh fruit here, because what's on the floor is moldy or clearly about to go moldy any second. I got burned more than once this year buying strawberries that looked iffy but still ok (because that was all they had), only to get them out of the fridge the next morning to find the container full of mold. I've also had issues with shelved food, such as chocolate bars that I opened to find had clearly completely melted at some point. Today, I ended up leaving again without items on my shopping list, because everything they had out was spoiled. Bunches of cilantro with all the leaves blackened and slimy, moldy and mushy onions, beef that has turned totally gray in the packaging, and no distilled water left on the shelf. It also seems like a lot of the regular employees I had gotten used to seeing are no longer there. To me, it seems like a serious management problem that needs to be addressed ASAP.

    Sue hit the nail on the head with this store, although she was far too kind in her star rating…read more Creedmoor has two options for grocery stores - Food Lion and Food Lion. The next option is about 15 miles out of town. I'm a steak and potatoes kind of person and I've been spoiled up in NoVA and New York by places like Wegmans and Martin's (taking after the Wegmans model with its latest stores). I could go to the meat counter and get custom cuts if I wanted them. Then I moved to Creedmoor, NC. Even my last visit to this Food Lion, I went in to find what was on sale in the meat department, specific cuts of steaks. There was very little to be found, and what was there I wasn't willing to buy - thin steaks or extremely poor quality (old) meat. Nobody was willing to pay attention from the meat service dept. What is even more exasperating is the prices - Food Lion further north was known for being a bit on the inexpensive side, but here it seems like the priciest (and only) game around. I'll travel to Raleigh to do my grocery shopping and avoid this place if at all possible. My only visits now are if I'm in a pinch for a specific ingredient.

    Food Lion - In every store, there's one buried treasure: cheese imported from Switzerland, from grass fed cows strolling fields by the Alps.

    Harris Teeter located in Creedmoor Village was larger inside than I expected based on the size of…read morethe parking lot. I had no problem finding a parking spot though. A larger store meant more options and it was great in that regard. The layout of the store is nicely done and it appeared clean. The produce department was mostly good, but was picked over and not restocked around noon on a Sunday. The sale items on the shelves were similar. I liked that they carried three varieties of the Quaker Oat Squares cereal as I have trouble even finding one variety at other Harris Teeter stores. The shelf placement on the top shelf with the boxes left in the back meant that I could not reach them so could not purchase them. Most shoppers won't be able to reach them. They did have more varieties of Fage yogurt, unlike the other Harris Teeters, so that was a good thing. There were only two checkouts open during a busy time of the day.

    I stopped at the store around 10 pm tonight and asked the manager, Jim, to fill a balloon for my…read moredaughter's birthday. He said there is no one there able to fill balloons tonight. Luke, who is a great employee, was running the register, so Jim could have done it. The last two times I was at this store within the past 2 weeks, a young great manager filled the balloons for me at the same hour. I love this store but I don't think Jim is a quality manager after watching his work ethics.
