My wife and I just moved to Charlotte recently from Ohio so we needed to find a new local grocery store. We tried both HT and Publix directly across the street. We learned of a fuel rewards program that HT offered and that pushed us to frequent HT over Publix. Recently we have had problems with products being out of stock or discontinued regularly. We have been disappointed about the out of stock situation but continued to use HT because of the fuel program.
HT has since decided to discontinue the fuel program as of Nov 2916 so we have now decided to discontinue using HT as our local grocery store. Publix across the street is just as convenient and seems to have comparable prices and quality. Nothing now separates HT from its completion.
