It is a very large location and the layout is not what I'm used to because there's a large \"bar\" that's in the middle of the place. They really designed it to make your grocery trip \"an experience\".\n\nProbably my only qualm/hesitation about the place is the parking lot... which can get tricky getting in and out off of South Blvd. Yes... the opening day crowds have died down, but the other businesses that will occupy the same shopping center have not moved in yet and the parking lot was about 50-60% full on a Saturday afternoon. We will just have to wait and see, but I do like how they placed the businesses in between South and the parking lot. A small oasis from the busy South Blvd traffic.\n\nThe usual staples are here, they just seem \"bigger\" [insert Jurassic Park reference here]. They could still be getting used to the opening, but there was plenty of staff to help you out and plenty of samples: fruit, cheese, etc from just walking around.\n\nJust like all new stores, it will take a while to adjust and figure out the asiles, but I guess I get frustrated easily since I used to be a stocking groceries during the third shift.... so technically you could call me a \"night stocker\" (the okay kind, not the bad: \"stalker\" kind) for Harris Teeter and I pretty much memorized the aisles for the store I worked for and it messes me up everywhere I go. It does help when I check out and know most of the fruit and veggie codes for the U-scan.\n\nAnyways... it will be a tough call for me to choose between Publix (where I usually go) and the new HT. They did a really good advertising for the store because the address is burned into my brain.... 2717. I think I just spend most of the day looking at light rail advertisements while waiting for the train."^^ . "6"^^ . "8"^^ .
