Publix is much like Harris Teeter.

They have some very high end stores and some older smaller stores just like Harris Teeter.

Greed at it again.

We're not for sale but if someone offers us enough they can buy us.

I usually go to the store to buy food etc. Not too concerned about their light fixtures. More concerned about their prices. You ever been to Sam's? Been there and they are always full of customers. So there are some people who really dont care about being in a "fashionable" store. Just forget the frills and give me low prices. Food Lion may not be fancy but I do like their prices.

"Have you been in a Publix? Upscale? I think not. They are almost as ugly as Food Lion. Almost."

Absolutely have... Washington Rd. in Augusta, GA next Augusta National, on Ben Sawyer in Mt. Pleasant, SC and Central Blvd, Downtown Orlando, FL. Without a doubt the two nicest grocery stores that I have ever stepped foot into.

Your comparison is skewed b/c just as their are good Harris Teeter's in this area, say Olde Raleigh and Cameron Village, there are some VERY outdated ones, ie the Western Blvd/Buck Jones/Jones Franklin.

Any older established chain, is going to have smaller, out of date, and maybe not as nice stores. No matter who it is. Compare Walmart on Glenwood to one of the newer ones, like Garner or Brier Creek. No comparison. Catch the drift.

Publix wouldn't come in here and do a makeshift job of filling a void, they'd come in here to blow the competition out of the water.

yes, but giant is union controlled...i don't think that harry teeter is...

Harrie Teeter is a carbon coyp of Giant and Giant Eagle stores.If they sold to Giant they would have to do much remodeling and Giant has gluten free sections and nice deli and produce. And for all the high class folk..It is very clean and upscale for y'all.

Teeter's non-sale/special prices may be a little or moderately higher than local competitors, and they take their gamble with coupons and specials that you buy more........but HT's niche is quality product and service. NOT the poor produce or meats of Food Lion, not the indifferent product and service of the unionized Kroger, not the cattle call of maybe low prices but marginal quality and poor service of Mal-Wart. If you can afford to do all your shopping at Teeter, God bless you. If you shop the sales or need some supplemental thing, that's why Teeter's there. QUALITY! Don't want Publix (BAD produce!), don't want more union Kroger, don't want the transplants' favorite store East Giblip. Why are the little and big things of this great state going of the way of transportation trends? Sigh. HT's # 1-800-432-6111.

They could sell to PUBLIX. A chain that actually cares about its customers no cards to track your purchases clean wide aisles and the brands you know and have tried

I love Harris Teeter and hope they do not sell. Yes, they are sometimes more expensive than most of the other chain stores, so I always try to use coupons and hit the sales, but the stores are much cleaner, better stocked, more friendly, and have higher quality meats and produce than the other stores.You pay for what you get. Even Kroger can not compete with Harris Teeter. Like their ads, my Harris Teeter is "My Harris Teeter". Please do not sell!!!!

So many people are using the term "Upscale". I've always considered the HT just that. I always knew they would be clean, have a great deli, but unfortunately have UPSCALE prices. Time are hard in this economy. I'm not going to buy from them what I know I can't $1.50-$2.00 cheaper. HT is overpriced. I only shop there for specials in their ad with an additional coupon if it beat out another store everyday prices.
