I've been shopping at Von's at the Trails Center, Summerlin since it opened and most often very much enjoyed my shopping experience. I can only say that in my opinion and experience that the prices overall at Haggen are SUBSTANTIALLY more expensive compared to that of Von's as well as competing area stores, and without any noticeable difference to me in terms of the quality or the atmosphere within the store itself, although the store in fact appears to me to be more barren and deserted.
Mostly, I am referring to brand name products where from my perspective Haggen has ridiculously raised prices dramatically. In my opinion this store cannot even be compared to many of the higher end and specialty markets in Las Vegas where I would now prefer to shop if I must pay Haggen prices.
Furthermore, Haggen seems not to be stocking many of the items that I had enjoyed and have become accustomed to purchasing over the years; I sincerely doubt that this store will thrive in our community if it continues in my opinion with an extremely outrageous pricing policy. They have lost this customer despite it being a convenient location in which to shop. I reiterate that I am totally shocked by their prices! Their staff is as nice and as kind as always, virtually the same Von's employees, but I can somewhat sense the staff's own dismay and perhaps disappointment at the lack of traffic and the new Haggen pricing as well.
Additionally, I am discouraged that I have not seen a response from the Haggen management team to many of the online negative reviews. Perhaps they are not concerned despite the fact that they still have an opportunity to make this a great store and win back the loyal Von's customer and neighborhood consumer.
