Ugh. I liked the manageable size and convenience of that store...I've been cobbling together replacement solutions, but they all involve multiple trips (Trader Joe's for produce and meats, Target for paper goods, national brands, etc.). I tried Shoppers a few weeks ago and that was a huge mistake - the organic produce was absolutely disgusting, everything I picked up was either moldy and/or ancient. Let's hope HT can get this resolved and reopen!

That's odd. I find Shoppers produce selection and quality light years beyond any other market in the area. I can get 10 limes there for a buck. The limes at the baby Giant on Monroe cost 89 cents a pop! My only complaint about Shoppers is their apparent refusal to ever have more than two registers open at once. The lines are unbearable.

I suspect Shoppers' regular produce sees much more turnover than the organic. I prefer organic when I am eating/using the skin of the fruit or veg, and was looking for limes, apples (sadly I'd missed Toigo at the farmers' market) and grape tomatoes. They had a huge stack of organic grape tomatoes in the clamshells, but every single one of them, when inspected, was moldy. They had a small stack of organic apples, but they looked so ancient they were starting to shrivel. I passed. They had no organic citrus at all. And yes, the lines were ridiculous too - I waited over 15 minutes. I do think their selection of ethnic foodstuffs, particularly Mexican/Central American, is quite good.

Scooby is.... almost... funny. Needs to work on delivery.

Wahhhhhhhh! I want my P-Yard HT back!!!!!! NOW. The other HTs are all so inconvenient and impersonal. Help me!

I simply don't BELIEVE this place is ever reopening. There have been so many rumors of different dates it would reopen and HT is providing no updates to the public: I stopped getting mail about that location a long time ago. I think HT is just stringing customers along. If HT is waiting for some "guarantee" from the county that their never be a sewage backup again at the water treatment facility, don't hold your breath! A company this size should have FLOOD insurance if they are going to set up a store on a 1st floor of a building 1 block from a river. Sadly, when that HT was open, I use to shop there AT LEAST once or twice a week. Since it closed, I've shopped at HT only about 3 times since May....the other locations simply SUCK. The Shoppers 1 block away or the Giant down on Glebe road are simply easier to get to.
