"the prices are genuinely outrageous and the produce is awful. Genuinely wtf happened"

Hannaford Customer

"Everyone I know hates Hannafords, but if we lose that we have no place to shop. "

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

"Notice things so spoil quickly and I’ve gotten spoiled food I’ve had to return"

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"."

Former Hannaford Vendor

"I worked for Hannaford over 30 years ago and the company has gone down hill ever since it sold out."

Hannaford Customer and Former Employee

"In the last few months I have noticed a big change in the bakery products. they turned blue in a couple of days. This is NOT the quality I expect"

Hannaford Customer

"many items are double the price that they were just a few months ago."

Hannaford Customer

"I've seen empty shelves expired food out of date boxed items.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

Hannaford Customer

"The Pharmacy Technicians... the ones with a state license, the people trusted with HIPPA information, and those who have the ability and risk to severely harm or kill people... are overworked and completely underpaid. We get abused and the company does nothing to actually help us. But get your flu shot! We need to hit 2500 shots this year, and big daddy Hannaford wants its money ;)"

Hannaford Employee

"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 Customers

"The quality of the food has been declining while prices have skyrocketed."

Hannaford Customer

"Thanks for getting the message out about Hannafords foreign corporate ownership. I stopped shopping there years ago when I found out."

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."

Hannaford Customer

"Prices are very high and rising. I no longer shop Hannaford. I would rather drive further for a deal. "

Hannaford Customer

"I have had to return food items due to quality and unsafe meats. The prices are much too high, the employees are treated poorly... "

Hannaford Customer

"We refer to it as Cantafford. As in: I can't afford this store."

Hannaford Customer

"My experience with Hannaford rewards is there are no rewards. "

Hannaford Customer

"Substandard produce and products that expire before their time. "

Hannaford Customer

"Rotten low quality fruit and vegetables."

Hannaford Customer

"Sky rocket prices, can’t find groceries that were once carried, and produce has gone down hill."

Hannaford Customer

"Everything keeps going up in price, all the produce sucks, it used to be good not great just good passable. The meat, chicken, pork is slimy and sometimes smells."

Hannaford Customer

" It’s very disconcerting when you pay so much money and then meat spoils in two days and the vegetables are not much better."

Hannaford Customer

"Seen prices increase by up to 50% on some items. We are unable to shop anywhere else, due to the fact there the only store in town."

Hannaford Customer

"Prices are getting out of control high and quality of meat and produce is horrible!! I have brought home onions that were all rotten on the inside many times!"

Hannaford Customer

"The bread is either so hard or grows mold within a day or so even though it has a good date on it. The meat is the same way"

Hannaford Customer

"I dont even shop at local Hannaford. Its a block from me.i go out of my way to go to competitors and a local little town store that has sale items I puck up there cheaper than Hannaford but same brands even. "

Hannaford Customer

"We have been loyal customers for more than 22 years, but in the last year or so we have experienced poor quality products that had to be returned."

Hannaford Customer

"High prices. Empty shelves. Noticable decrease in quality particularly with meat and produce."

Hannaford Customer

"They are using any excuse they come up with to raise their prices. It sucks"

Hannaford Customer

"They treat senior citizens like we are a bother. You wait forever in line, 2 or 3 cashiers with lines down the isles. I will never go back!!"

Hannaford Customer

"Their meat is a joke, yet not funny. No quality anymore and they are jacking prices like crazy."

Hannaford Customer

"I have found pieces of plastic in chicken Alfredo at least twice if not more. Their quality is lower than Walmart now."

Hannaford Customer

"Hannafords is just another corporate giant that doesn't actually care about anything but shareholder returns. "

Hannaford Customer

"I am sick of them pretending that they're service while they exploit our community"

Hannaford Customer

"I try and never go there prices are too high and quality it bad they never should have sold out to a over seas company cause they don't have a clue what we do here in New England"

Hannaford Customer

"I know that the employees aren't treated very well, but I hadn't really given any thought to the other issues. I will now, thanks for bringing this to my attention."

Hannaford Customer

"Dramatic decline in quality over the last couple years. Specifically, I no longer buy pork from Hannaford in the Lewiston-Auburn area. It tastes terrible and is clearly of inferior quality."

Hannaford Customer

"a very close family member works for them. They tell me how often their store gets cases of meat which already expired, or turn grey in a day. Same with the produce"

Hannaford Customer

"I used to love Hannafords. now it's just gross."

Hannaford Customer

"I seldom shop at Hannaford (CAN‘T AFFORD) because of their high pricing and the produce is of low quality"

Hannaford Customer

"We don’t need Hannaford and we didn’t need it in Scarborough when was open the third one. People don’t want to shop there because selection of food poor and quality also bad. What ever who makes those decisions they should ask people around this town what are the best options and best options for them."

Hannaford Customer

"The prices are through the roof now. The vegetables on fresh anymore I wish I wasn’t stuck with them if another grocer comes around I will go to there."

Hannaford Customer

"Our young, struggling family of four have had to switch to Market Basket and the food pantry to make ends meet and obtain reliable food."

Hannaford Customer

"Milk spoiled 4 days prior to the date. Chicken spoiled 1 day after purchase. Produce bad after 1 day."

Hannaford Customer

"I was denied a promotion due to a disability by my store manager at the time. Upper management does not care about employee wellbeing at all. After COVID hours were cut for hard working Mainers while the company continued to reel in millions in profits. I have since left the company for a much better employer and others have followed."

Hannaford Customer

"Gross. I could smell rancid food from the parking lot in Biddeford. Disorganized, dirty. Nothing near the quality im used to in Southern California grocery stores where im from."

Hannaford Customer

"they use to be good, quality is been bad for a few years , they don’t care , I have a location near my home for the last 36 years. They’ve never updated it always out of stock. It feels like baltic on Monopoly. A foreign company all their profit school overseas, they treat their managers and staff like crap."

Hannaford Customer

"The deception, data mining and dynamic pricing have driven me away from the ease of local shopping. Buy 10 things from market basket and same from Belgium owned Hannaford and see the difference and pay the reverse tariff and lose money and quality at the same time."

Hannaford Customer

"Long time shopper at can'tafford oops I mean Hannaford. Sick of the price gouges and more. The quality has gone down exponentially. How many times I come home to find out the meat of veggies I bought are rotten...deplorable."

Hannaford Customer

"I worked for Hannaford for 10 years and was "laid off" because of the recession but it was because of the restructuring that was done due to the merger with Delhaize. I am still in touch with many former colleagues who say that things are so bad there, that all corporate cares about is making the stock holders happy. It's really too bad because before the merger Hannaford really valued it's people and took excellent care of them."

Former Hannaford Employee

"Even their advertising is a blatant lie "Prices are Falling"? Where? Not in your stores!! I uses to shop Hannaford over Market Basket because they had service - now that's gone and MB has more service and much better prices! They can't last long with no service, higher prices and consumer be damned attitude!"

Hannaford Customer

"I personally have witnessed the DOWNFALL of Hannaford Supermarkets. Higher prices, dirtier stores, short handed on workers, long lines for crappy self-scanner checkout machines, only to ring YOURSELF OUT. The food quality is sub par, when it used to be EXCELLENT."

Hannaford Customer

"I was a loyal Hannaford shopper for years, both in Rockland, ME and Pawling, NY. I no longer shop at either store. Diminished quality and higer prices have driven me away."

Hannaford Customer

"Spoiled cheese and eggs. Poor selection on everything. I NEVER buy meat there. It looks questionable. Produce won't last a day"

Hannaford Customer

"Prices at Hannaford have become ridiculous. I started shopping Aldi and Market Basket and have been treated like a customer not as a problem. Hannaford produce has not kept up to my standards of fresh and consistently quality."

Hannaford Customer

"Delhaize has been manipulating prices for years. My wife and I live in Wells and travel to Sanford to shop at other food markets. Hannaford Prices are criminal, especially from May to November. Our family treats Hannaford as a convenience store, we would never consider doing a full shopping here any longer."

Hannaford Customer

"I will not shop there again. It used to be one of the best in the area at one time. Until things change with documented proof I will NO LONGER support this chain! I hope others in this community speak up and support this concern."

Hannaford Customer
