| - As a former resident of western Washington, I feel it's necessary to make it clear that this "Haggen" is no Haggen. This location (and I'm assuming the others in the valley) lacks the pieces that make Haggen awesome--the delightfully complicated floor plan, the wide selection of specialty and organic food, wonderful and fresh produce, and a made-to-order deli with sandwiches, sushi, and salad/cheese/olive bar that was a regular lunch staple for me! (If any east coasters are familiar with Wegmans, Haggen is like a west coast Wegmans.) Sure, when money was a little tight I would go to Haggen just for meat, produce and a meal from the deli and pick up the other pantry staples somewhere cheaper, but the prices I paid for those items were well worth the extra cost. Here, though, the produce was overpriced and low quality, the deli was absolutely nothing like how it should be, and we found expired milk and bread. :(
My husband and I were so excited when we got the mailers, thinking we could return to our favorite grocery store from WA. However, this location is basically (probably literally) an old Vons that they put no effort into making a real Haggen; they just slapped some Haggen signs throughout. I was disappointed and will continue shopping at Sprouts on W. Sahara.
