Harding's Market

I’ve been a regular customer at this Hardings for the last 8 years. Everything is ok, until there’s a problem. Their online shopping is flawed. They charge you upfront, for items that may be a different price in store. I overpaid, and nothing was fixed. I also purchased an eight piece bag of chicken, and they gave me 7 little wing dings, not once did they say “we don’t have all of the pieces.” When I brought it to their attention they refused to do anything to make it right. That is a horrible way to treat a regular customer. Hardings is a good place to shop, but when they make a mistake it’s the customers loss. I am really starting to regret spending $100, & $200 every week at this store.

I was happy to pay a lot more and purchase my groceries here, since the location is good and I like to shop at locally-owned businesses. In the past two weeks, I’ve spent over $200 st this store (it’s A LOT more expensive than Meijer and WAY more expensive than Aldi). I was happy to pay more since they’re close to me and locally owned. However, not anymore. They charged me twice for an item and said they’re completely unable to refund my money over the phone. My husband just had surgery, so obviously I dint have a lot of time. Now I need to drive back there to get a refund even though it was their mistake. They didn’t offer me anything for my wasted time. I won’t be shopping here anymore. They should have found a way to make it easy for me and they didn’t. What am I paying extra for if not great service?

My cashier was so friendly. He noticed my tshirt and we had a good chat about Harry Potter. Prices were a bit pricey paid over $4 for a gal. of skim milk.

Staff is very rasist!! Shopped here on Xmas using a gift certificate that I was awarded and employee treated me like I had a disease! Didn’t greet me but greeted every customer which was white before me. Told them have a nice Xmas and night she didn’t say neither to me! But me being the nice women I am I told her even though she was nasty to me.! Come on this is 2023 there is no colored/whites only I really wish people wake up! This has happened to me everytime I’ve shopped here! I’ll never return!

Older lady name of Diana never has any manners nor does she seem happy to be there. Each time I visit in the mornings I simply say good morning or thankyou after purchasing items never hear a response back from her. Started going to meijer seeing happy faces & people that responds “you’re welcome” or “have a nice day” something so small can make a big difference.

Clean huge and options options options! Not close to home but stopped while working and was very surprised. Did not know this store existed. Will stop more if given the opportunity.

Good size store, big enough for a wide selection of produce, but small enough to navigate easily, but I will say, as a teenager who shops there regularly, I’ve noticed that employees sometimes will eye me in ways that aren’t exactly what I would call nice. Even thought I’ve been going to that same store for years, I’m always treated with hesitation like I’m about to go steal something, even though I’ve never shown any disrespect or suspicious behavior. The employees are discriminatory for just my age.

As you see produce is horrible, been finding all the Harding's Markets in Kalamazoo are like this, Galesburg location is worse with produce, disgusting and health department needs to step in

I like Hardings. It's smaller, so your selections are somewhat smaller, but all the basics are covered. The prices are higher, but the convenience of being able to run in, grab a few things, and leave in 10 minutes, an impossibility in a large store, make the prices worth it. The employees are always nice, friendly and helpful. The store is very clean. But be careful-their fresh deli foods, bakery items, fresh produce, and sale items may result in you, like me yesterday, going in for a bag of potatoes and ending up getting $57 of groceries!

I have auditory sensory issues and anxiety which means the second I walk into a store, my brain shuts off. But this Hardings is one of my "safe" stores. The visual and sound in there are not too overwhelming. Every section has a lot of options but not so many that I freak out. I still stand there for 10 minutes trying to pick the one I want but nobody hassles me

The employees are never friendly. What happened to customer service these days?? Cashier's don't smile or say hi or nothing. Complete silence.

I absolutely love the smaller stores, and normally love the deli. Stopped in last night with my husband, was going to grab some fried chicken (which is always good) however when the lady at the deli rudely told me" You will have to wait, I can't do two things at once" I was taken aback. So many things she could have said....Like, I will be right with you...literally anything else. The tone in her voice was so condescending. It was very clear, I was bothering her, so I walked away. If customer service isn't in your skill set, maybe you shouldn't wait on customers. I will not be back, ever.

I have to say this is one of the nicest little markets in town. There are some great people working here and definitely on top of my list as far as grocery stores go. The manager Nick is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He does a great job running the store and will assist you any way he can if need be. So if your out and about stop in and take a look around it will be worth the stop.

I love their deli! Great for a quick hot lunch. Self serve counter and they weigh at the register. You pay by the pound. Great selection and it changes. Update: with concerns for COVID the deli bar is not self serve anymore. The person at the deli counter gets what you might want. They are wearing gloves and genuinely seem like they do their best to take precautions. Great place! Update: 06/2022 The deli still rocks! It is still served by the deli person because of COVID. They have been having a lot of great choices to choose from. I have in the past not been to impressed with their produce section. It is improving! It has been much better than I remember it being. All in all, they do a good job 😊 and they are always friendly. Check them out... Update: 12/2022 Great lunch spot! Deli has a great selection of hot food every day. I've been noticing some new changes in the store like new equipment and recent updates. Great neighborhood grocery store. Give these friendly folks a try. Update: 04/23 Great neighborhood grocery store... They have been making some upgrades and they do a wonderful job here. The produce department is improving and they have the friendliest people working here. Check out this great place 😊

Customer service at checkout is terrible. The old lady in there is not friendly, no smile and the employees seem like the soul has been sucked out of them. Customer service is very important to all people.
