| - Along came Kroger....
....and the party ended.
This used to be a great grocery store. Then, for some insane reason, they closed it and built a building that's way too big for the intersection, cannot understand how the design got through the city planning commission. Adding insult to injury, some moron chose to make this new store 2 levels and it's a real pain in the you know what. All that said, it was still a pretty good grocery store. (none of that is on Kroger)
Then Kroger bought them -- game over.
-- The store is filthy. The vegetable and milk sections especially so (see picture). This is true at East Blvd also.
-- The quality of the meat is still good, but after 4.30pm they never have anyone behind the counter that can cut meat. If a person wanted to stop in after work and request a specific cut of meat, no can do. (the meat counter at Southpark is beyond bad, just filthy)
-- They have lots of selections of cheese, pretty much always very old. A while back I opened my cheese at home and behind the label where it wasn't visible, covered in nasty mold.
-- The vegetables and vegetable prices are just terrible, look at the corn in the attached picture. The signage is terrible..."extra large artichokes", are anything but that. White corn, is yellow at least half the time. Etc...
I've given up and started shopping at Publix, the store is SPOTLESS. The prices are GREAT. The quality of the vegetable products is EXCELLENT. Publix isn't nearly as convenient but at this point I'd seriously be worried about catching some kind of disease from the vegetable section of the Harris Teeter in Myers Park.
