Curse you Harris Teeter on Central for being the only sizable grocery store within walking distance of home! If wikipedia is to be believed (if!) this store is the first Harris Super Market built in 1936 (this is before the great Harris-Teeter merge of 1960, of course). This probably explains not only its fantastic location (which is rather awesome), but its numerous ailments: - Dingy look: yah, I'd say it looks about 75 years old! I never understood the impact of environment on my shopping experience until coming here. - Cramped conditions and narrow walking space: It is hard to get around, particularly if there is someone standing ahead of you. It may be that the original designers may not have considered the wheeled shopping cart (which was also invented in 1936). Perhaps one-way lanes in the store could remedy this? - Sub-par selection: this is the worst. If I have to go to other grocery stores just to get what I need... why bother coming here? Overall, in another 25 years this store would qualify as a history building (I think). Please get a move on that renovation else Plaza-Midwood will be stuck with you for a long time. I give two stars because the location rocks and because you do actually sell food. You are lucky that your slogan, "Your Neighborhood Food Market", makes no claims about being a Supermarket, otherwise we'd have some problems.
