I don't go to HT Cameron Village to get married or find a date, I just buy food items there. Since I've been shopping at this store, I've noticed really significant price increases over short periods of time. In the summer, there seem to be more discounts, but when the students come back in the fall, prices go up a lot., and then keep going up. On some items I buy every few weeks, I've notice 30% increases. Also during the week, even at peak times, as well as off hours, I'm constantly having to dodge HT staff and delivery men who hog the aisles, blocking shelves, etc. I've heard this particular store has the highest dollar sales in the state of NC. I can believe it. From how prices change, I'm convinced that HT corp. uses this store to test pricing levels---how high can they go before people stop buying. Students don't care about prices, but the rest of us do. The store seems to be priced like a corner convenience store, not a supermarket--everything is high. I admire HT marketing and sales for their use of this store as a price leader. It serves a captive market in the area, so people pay the prices.
Pros: Clean store, convienient.
Cons: Prices go up dramatically, parking is terrible.
