Hannaford

About 8 months after writing my last review, I moved to Quincy and this became my main supermarket. 6 years later I still feel the same way. A+

Very clean clean store. The food looks very fresh! Friendly staff! First time there and will be going again!

I would prefer to do 3.5 stars, but since I’m generally a fan of this store, I’ll round up to four stars.
I started coming here about 2 years ago (I live within walking distance) and at first thought the store was a little dingy and lower quality. I don’t know if they’re made any actual changes or it’s my perception that has changed, but I’ve grown to like it and I stop by weekly.
My most purchased products are fruits/​veggies/​organic/​dairy. I don’t do meat very often so I can’t comment on the quality of beef or fish. I stopped buying chicken due to health concerns but was happy to see they started carrying an organic brand.
I wish they had a bigger selection of organic fruit (APPLES!) so that’s one product I have to venture to Stop & Shop for. However I do love their bagged kale, organic peppers (when I feel like springing for them) and «nature’s place» organic salsa and flax-​seed chips. I don’t drink often but they do have a nice beer/​wine section.
I’ve found their cashiers to be mostly friendly. Mary is great! My significant other thinks she is a little too chatty, but that’s what I love about going through her line. She’s always got something funny or nice to say. :)
So, room for improvement but overall, not bad!

I love this store. I don’t know why it took me so long to shop here. The quality of everything fresh is ten times better than Stop and Shop. The store is super clean, too. Try their ready to cook meat department selections! Psst… they have 3 liter sodas!

Hannaford is a great option in Quincy. I found the prices to be very reasonable and I like that it’s clean and it’s easy to get in and out of there. There’s nothing worse than spending more time in line than shopping and that has not been the case here. The quality of their produce seems to be much better than their competitors. I had been shopping at StopNShop/​Star Market but found that their stores are dirty, over crowded, and over priced. Glad there’s a Hannaford in town.

I love this store. I just moved to the area, and Hannaford is really close to me. This store is clean, with an excellent customer service staff. Everyone is always so helpful. I assumed that Stop and Shop was cheaper, but they are not. The prices at Hannaford are really reasonable. For instance, Peets Coffee (a staple for me) every day price is $ 7.99, whereas at Stop and Shop and Star Market, it runs between $ 9.99 and $ 10.99. When it would go on sale at those stores, I would buy two. I’ve notice a significant price difference in other items as well. I am also happier with the meat and produces at Hannaford.
I think this will definitely my «go to» store.

Only for Lynn.

The thing that makes this place is the people.
I live down the street in North Quincy, and have been coming here multiple times a week for the last 5 years, even with a health food store close by, and a Stop and Shop right on the other side of the train tracks.
Why? Because of the people, the vibe, the good prices that beat Stop and Shop by a mile. I don’t think I’ve ever loved a grocery store, but I do really love this place. My family affectionately calls it «Hannies» now. It’s makes grocery shopping not just something to endure, but enjoy. Manageable size, good offerings (even though their Natural section is small, the curate pretty well) and great organic option/​natural meats. Their refund policy on anything amiss is also outstanding. Customers feel taken care of here. I LOVE their free «Fresh» magazine with recipes at the registers!
I hope Corporate sees this review and commemorates the outstanding full time staff, throws them some perks. Helpful, dedicated, general feeling of friendliness, comraderie. Faces that I see every week-​produce guys, dairy guy, cashiers, managers… I hope they are rewarded for it. I recommend to my friends and family. Even the store itself seems to be involved in many causes to help end Childhood Hunger, etc. with every holiday season. Hard to find that in the city. I know one of my neighbors recently moved to Arlington and was sad most of all to be leaving… Hannaford!

Good market. but they have to expand couple of department also increase more brands of products. sometime good offer coupons, to reach this market for me is not easy because its in Wollaston the land of Chinese people…

Love this Quincy Hannaford’s, and Hannaford’s in general for that matter. The vegetable department always looks filled in and fresh, and I like that I can find things that I wouldn’t find at a Stop & Shop and the like. The Deli counter is efficient, and clerks always polite and fast in getting orders done. The selection throughout the rest of the store is varied and affordable. Prices are typically in line with or better than competitors. However, the front of the store is what makes it the best – badgers are always on hand and if lines back up, supervisor’s are quick to open additional registers. In this day of pervasive self check-​out, that goes miles in my book.

I come to this Hannaford location very often. Today, was THE LAST TIME. I needed just a few things. I went and got in line to check out and a worker, ADELE, didn’t ask but told me to check out in the next lane, I said I would like to wait because this lane is moving fast. Mind you I had a fussy 1 year old with me. She said NO, I am closing this lane. So, I get behind a lady with a cart full of groceries. Another woman came up behind me, and guess who??? Adele said she would take her on her register that she was about to open! I asked why does she get to go when I was next? She told me I could go and get behind her, I asked for a manager and how convenient they were ALL in a meeting. This lady was so rude. I will never shop at that dumpy location ever again. I have worked in customer service for a long time and she was unacceptable. Would a Dr leave his office with patients needed to be seen? Would a hair dresser just stop cutting hair half way through? If you shop at this location, stay far away from nasty old Adele that has a huge attitude problem. I live in Quincy, but I am willing to travel to surrounding towns just to avoid walking into this place. Nice knowing you Hannaford

The customer service here is excellent, IMHO. Like all markets, some goods I shop for here are less expensive than other markets, and some are more. That’s typical, but what’s not typical is how Hannaford’s handles overcharges. If they do overcharge, bring the receipt and the item to the desk and buh-​BOOM, you get it free AND they give you an extra buck. That’s good will. That’s customer service!

Hannaford is clean, accessible, good selection, but hot dang, is it expensive. I still go there once in awhile if they have some sale items that I like, but for your average shelf stable items, frankly, you’re better off at one of the other supermarket options. They do have a nice produce section, though, and it is a lot cleaner than a certain Star Market I could mention, so there’s that.

Since there is not a single Market Basket within 10 miles, I have to suffer with the few low quality supermarkets in Quincy. Hannaford seems to be my best option, but I go in there for just a few things and still manage to spend over $ 50 and still have to go out to eat. There is a lot of neat items I tend not to find other places, but the prices stops me from buying them. I do find a handful of things that are worth their price, so it will do in a pinch when I am not able to get to a store with better value. All and all it is not a bad store, it is just I know there are better price and quality with a bit of a drive. One side note, if you buy the prepared foods, like the Sushi, watch the price. A tray of sushi costs $ 6.29, but with the meals and local tax, it adds about another $ 1 to the total. You can get freshly made sushi down the street for less.

I love Hannaford. They have the most adorable plant section, great seafood, and staff is good. I would give 5 stars except for sometimes they don’t have the selection that a large store would have, but Stop & Shop is literally like an insane asylum, I would never go to that store again. Hannaford is also clean and well stocked. Pleasant shopping. Customer service desk could use some improvement– but otherwise I love it !!

Good organic selections. Wine & beer (extensive selection). To go items & bakery looked great. Clean, organized store.
Would return.

I go here daily…

WHAT I LIKE
Item Availability: Isles always stocked with what you want – you want it, you go it – kinda store… I like that.
Wine Selection: Quite impressive selection and truly great deals that I would find at say, Trader Joe’s.
Produce: Mediocre… I HATE misting devices, rotten Green Peppers and waxed veggies…, .BTBF (But To Be Fair) Organic section IS wide-​spread throughout the store, product-​wise. Can I use any more hyphen’s?
Ok, bad stuff… and I am sorry, but I’m being honest…
BAD STUFF /​A.K.A., COULD DO BETTER
Staff: For the most part, the staff is friendly, cooperative, patient and just overall nice and professional… and then there are the few bad apples… again, I go here DAILY.
One is a younger female who is either high or just plain stupid. Not only do they put her on the registers (Literally, she picks up an item, looks at it, scans it, ooops, *heheheh* didn’t work *hehehehe*, tries again, *BEEP*, next item… same thing… takes FOREVER while people wait looking at her likes she’s a total retard (trust me, in this case, it’s justified).she is in outer-fuckin-space.I REFUSE to get in her line if she is at the register or bagging… she annoys me that much, yes… But she’s not the only one.
Old Produce Guy with Bad Attitude: I’m not in YOUR way, YOU are in MY way… I am a CUSTOMER, so don’t give me a «The fuck you want me to do bout it?» shrug as you block the isle with the wagon of shit you are putting out… just smile and i’ll go around, not like I was an inconvenience… second time you miserable old fuckin’ boot.
Nosey Cashier Lady with weird sense of humor: If I buy wine every hour on the hour for a week straight it is NOT your place to let me know your «Keeping an eye on me», «hahahah», or that you are «Surprised at how much wine I get!», added with «damn!», sadly enough, yes, verbatim… Ok, so I do like wine, but I was buying for a Memorial Day picnic, my own stash, a weekend thing coming up… ok, see… here I go explaining when I should not have too… so, to you my weird-​o, mouthy friend… NUNYA.

I recently visited Hannaford Supermarket and was pleasantly surprised by all of the wonderful options. They offered a wide variety of organic products and they also carry products that I’ve had trouble finding in supermarket near my home.
I will be visiting again!

I like Hannafords more. Great seafood! You can get crap cakes, fish cakes, salmon, etc. Excellent! Just as good or better than Legal Seafood.
All the staff there is very friendly and helpful. And I say again, this store is just the right size.

I went here on a Saturday morning. What I liked from the beginning was that it was not crowded.
It’s very clean and the produce is fresh.
This place is a regular grocery store but with very decent prices. They even have an organic section, although it could have a little more variety in that department.
The beer selection is small and the prices are the same as any other store. The wine selection is vast and the prices are very competitive.
I’m definitely a fan and will be back.
