Harris Teeter--pleasant environment, good sales
I have five large-chain supermarkets within 5 miles of me, including Harris Teeter (Olney, MD). I find HT the most enjoyable one to patronize. Environment is clean and bright. Employees used to be friendlier and nicer but that has diminished--perhaps from the pandemic? A smile...hello...and thank you (with a purchase) make a big difference. Prices are a bit higher than the competition on many items, while some HT house-brand items are lower. Sometimes, artisan or small brands are mixed in with the usual brands. The sub counter is a good deal and uses Boars Head meats. Please bring back the red pepper basil sauce! What I like best is HT's buy-one-get-one free offers each week, always a few items in each department. Get a VIC savings card. Not everyone knows that you can buy just one of these B1G1 items and pay 50%. As a household of one, I’m grateful. Restock often on your sale items. Don't make the store a racetrack where curbside is primary. See if the produce can be improved. It's there and edible, but quite often looking like it's been around awhile.
