Harris Teeter

There are too many Harris Teeter grocery stores nearby that are managed professionally. This particular store seems to get the leftovers from the other, well-​managed stores. Leftover «fresh» food and leftover help. No need to shop here! Search Unilocal to find the real Harris Teeter stores. No one deserves rude service and heavily marked– up prices!

This is my favorite Harris Teeter. I have never had a problem with produce. I did have a problem with chicken from the case one time and they gave me a double refund, as is HT policy. Staff are friendly and the store is large enough for multiple carts in the aisles. Not too dark, not too light. Unlike Food Lion, they rarely have out of date items on the shelves. Best of all, if there’s a line, they open another register. Self checkout is very easy to use. Good sales and double coupons. I do wish they had a pharmacy at this one.

Maybe I’m missing something… the Unilocal reviews totally do not correspond to what I experienced.
I’ve lived in Wake Forest for almost 9 years. I love Wake Forest, and try to support local stores when I can. Not a particular fan of HT, but it is exciting when a new store comes to the area. This one is about 2 years old now, and I had never been to it because:
1. I am a creature of habit when it comes to my grocery shopping.
2. I hate Capital Boulevard and like to avoid it at all costs– especially on the weekend.
3. I like to save money.
I happened to be coming up Harris Sunday and needed to grab a few things so I opted to finally try the HT on Capital/​Harris. Parking was a freaking nightmare. Once I got in, there were no carts. I grabbed a basket and kept moving. There were people standing in aisles just staring at stuff. No one was moving in the orderly fashion that they should in grocery stores, i.e. keep right and move out of the way when someone is behind you. I felt that I was somehow trapped in either a zombie movie, or Walmart– it’s really all the same, right?
Once I finally got what I needed, I went to pay and the «General Manager» according to her tag was complaining to another Customer Service Manager about how she was afraid to go into certain departments of the store. She apparently was there for some sort of audit, or store check. Not sure but she complained the whole time she was checking me out.
Plus, for just a few items, I spent more money than I would getting double the items at Lowe’s Foods AND some of the organic items are actually cheaper at Whole Foods than they are at HT.
Aside from Walmart, this may be the worst grocery store in Wake Forest. I guess I can check the box that I finally checked the box for this store, but I won’t be back.

This grocery store has everything you need to feed your family and entertain guests.
It’s a beautiful store and the staff is very friendly.
That said, this is always my last choice for grocery shopping in my neighborhood. Why? One reason — the prices.
Nearly everything here is overpriced and costs more than the same brands do at just about every other store in the area.
The only time I shop here is when I happen to be in the proximity to the store out of convenience.
When I have time and I’m not in a rush, I almost always choose Lowe’s Foods or Harris Teeter.
(One thing that I do like about this store is the fact that I bank at PNC and the ATM here is a PNC ATM. So, no ATM fees for me!)

Great Floral Department!
We just ordered our wedding flowers from James May at this Harris Teeter and he is amazing. He quoted us a FRACTION of what other florists did, had great ideas, and since we’re getting married at Crenshaw Halll– he will even deliver. I highly recommend him!

The Harris teeter in wake forest is mostly good, one concern is the quality of the vegetables is not always as good as other grocery stores

Hit the brand new HT twice yesterday. The Opening Ceremony was held at 8am yesterday. They had the ribbon cutting ceremony with the mayor and then allowed all of their favorite customers to enter the new sparkling new location. We later went back around midnight to test out the 24 hour open policy and still found some cheerful and helpful associates.
The store flows from the entry to the right into the produce section. The produce section is large and has a good selection of organics (but it is not Whole Foods). The cheese case is a pretty good size, but does not feature anything too gourmet, although they did have some Pâté, which the Wakefield location does not have — so kudos for that. The floral, sushi, fresh baked bread, meat, seafood, and main grocery aisles are fairly typical for most other locations. The wine section does seem a bit smaller than the Wakefield store, but they do seem to have a pretty good variety.
The far front left corner of the store has a large section of books, magazines, and dvds. However, what this store does not have is a pharmacy! Total bummer!
