Hannaford Customer
"The Hannaford in Oxford Maine is awful. As soon as you walk in the stench of fish hits you. You should never smell fish that strong when you walk in the store."

Hannaford Customer
"Ahold Delhaize group from the Netherlands. We need owners who are from here who care about people."

Hannaford Customer
"I also have noticed the POOR quality of produce and meat. We have stopped doing allot of our shopping there now. "

Hannaford Customer
"The quality of produce continues to decline while prices continue to rise. Hannaford is now more expensive than the other grocery stores nearby and much less reliable."

Hannaford Customer
"I have seen prices higher and quality much lower. Not happy."

Hannaford Customer
"I have been a Hannaford produce vendor in the past with their local program. Their pricing system does not allow for local produce vendors to negotiate pricing. So much for "loving local"."

Hannaford Customer and Former Employee

Hannaford Customer
"I've seen empty shelves expired food out of date boxed items. "

Hannaford Customer
"Im a cashier at Hannaford. Im noticing is an increase in the amount of returns I see. People are returning all kinds of meat and produce because its moldy or rotting. It's gotten seriously embarrassing to be on the front line day after day. All my managers care about is my RPM's. That's rings per minute. Hannaford increasingly is run like a corporate machine."

Hannaford Employee
"Prices are way too hight and quality is lacking. Produce quality is terrible while meat cost have skyrocketed!"

Hannaford Customer
"Definitely have seen subpar meats especially chicken and beef in the store. ... it is at minimum - very frustrating to have such low quality product."

Hannaford Customer
"i have worked for hannaford a total of 8.5 years and they are an absolutely egregious company to work for."

Hannaford Customer
"I was a loyal customer of Hannaford for years, but I stopped buying meat, especially poultry a few years ago from them because of poor quality and higher prices."

Hannaford Customer
"Hannafords is a poor excuse for a grocery store and all the information provided i this website isn't surprising in the least!"

Hannaford Customer
"It wont hurt my feelings if they go out of business."

Hannaford Customer
"I have noticed that any time I buy milk from Hannaford, it goes bad almost overnight!"

Hannaford Customer
"They are by far not what they use to be. The prices and the food it's self are 2nd rate at best."

Hannaford Customer
"Been saying this about “Cantafford” for YEARS."

Hannaford Customer
"They have become the I don't care grocer."

Hannaford Customer
"I used to work for Hannaford for years during college and its even worse to work for them. Terrible food, and terrible company."

Former Hannaford Employee
"Rotting vegetables still being sold. Bad meat. Insane prices. And I live in Standish where they are pretty much the only close grocery store and have the monopoly. ... "

Hannaford Customer
"Moldy fruit and old veg is normal at my “local” store."

Hannaford Customer
"I worked for a time at a hannaford store in Maine. I saw rats in the back where we store food and reported it to management. Nothing was done about it"

Hannaford Customer
"Hannaford has changed drastically since it switched hands to del Haze. I used to work for them as a meat manager and did all my shopping there. I haven't been there for 5 years"

Hannaford Customer
"Used to buy their meat exclusively. I purchased a whole chicken with a tumor and worms ! They refunded me but weren't even apologetic. "

Hannaford Customer
"I have to check expiration dates, so often items are expired. Prices go up weekly. It’s frustrating and scary. I don’t shop there much anymore."

Hannaford Customer
"Having worked in grocery stores in a managerial capacity for over 40 years I can tell you. Their produce is ghastly. "

Hannaford Customer
"Moldy bread and fruit at the Riverton store. Not enough cashiers"

Hannaford Customer
"Quality on nearly all produce and Hannaford brands are HORRIBLE!! Just junk that farmers typically would not feed their livestock. "

Hannaford Customer
"One of the sections of refrigerators (for the beer aisle) at the Old Town store was completely filled with black mold. And not for a day, but quite literally for months"

Hannaford Customer
"The produce has gone way down on quality and freshness. "

Hannaford Customer
"The price comparison to other local grocery stores staggering. Hannaford is sometimes 4x the cost. "

Hannaford Customer
"My community in Northern Maine has only one grocery store, a Hannaford's. The next nearest store is fifty miles away, also a Hannaford's. I started driving 75 miles just to have an alternatrive. At this point, cost is irrelevant. Quality is the issue."
