Hannaford Supermarket

Store is clean, great selection, not as nice as its surrounding stores. They are always understaffed. 9 out of 10 times, I have to bag my own groceries. Not a big deal, but the do offer that service.
Won’t stop me from going.

The layout of this store is literally a maze.
I have been doing some selective shopping here (like many others) now that Market Basket is on strike.
Prices are just well, high and not what I am used to compared to MB.
Everything looked fresh, clean, and employees friendly, but again I will stick to the specials and be selective.

Hannaford has a weird reputation around town of being expensive, but I could list a hundred items that are pricier at Super Walmart, the beloved Market Basket, or Shaw’s. They have great specials, and their store brand is of excellent quality. I am consistently surprised at the selection of store brand items they come out with too. They have coupon promotions quite often throughout the year, such as $ 10.00 off your next visit if you spend x amount of dollars, but I never remember to bring the coupons back even though they say I can bring them to the service desk after the fact with my receipt! They have a large organic section, and enough home and drug store stuff to save me a trip elsewhere. I have been going here for years and years and I know the aisles by heart. Foodies will be happy here, as they have lots of hard-​to-​find items and stock a good amount of international ingredients. Produce is very fresh, and the meats at their butcher counter are wonderful. They also have a recipe magazine that is free if you spend more than $ 25.00, and it not only has really great recipes, but also has ideas for unusual fruits and vegetables you’ve always wanted to try, but never knew how to. The cashiers and baggers always provide stellar service, and many of them have been familiar faces for years-​so I am sure they treat their employees well. I am definitely not someone who enjoys shopping, but its nice to have a reliable, clean store right around the corner.

The layout is bizarre and finding things can be quite difficult, especially since there is no one ever in the aisles. I think the shelves stock themselves. It’s decent for a last minute grab since they are open an hour later than Market Basket, but it’s more expensive also.

This was my favorite supermarket when it was a Victory and although it is not quite as nice it is still much better than other Hannaford locations. The store is clean and well stocked with a good variety of brands. Although not as inexpensive as any of the
Market Basket locations it makes up for it with the variety of options available. There are two items that they carry that I can not easily find anywhere else. My favorite potatoe chip is Tri-​Sum. Tri-​Sum chips used to be cooked in beef tallow and although they no longer have this on their ingredient statement the chips maintain that unique flavor. This Hannafords also carrys a seaweed line that includes one of my favorite snacks dulse. This is a seaweed I used to gather as a kid from the rocky shores of Maine and it brings back a lot of childhood memories.

This is where I do most of my grocery shopping. Formerly Victory, this Hannaford located in the Derry Meadows SC has what I need and it’s very clean. They have a great selection including meats, seafood, produce, deli, bakery, meals to go, salad bar, sushi, flowers, pharmacy, wine, full organic and health foods section, and much more. If you just need milk, they keep some dairy near the front of the store for convenience. This Hannaford is a lot better and bigger than the Hannaford in my hometown in NY. The customer service here is very good with the staff stopping to ask me if I needed any help finding certain items and the registers fully staffed with baggers. The prices are competitive to the nearby Shaw’s, but not the lowest compared to Market Basket (in Londonderry).
NOTE: I’ve always paid cash here.
