Very nice store w/higher end selections of every day items. 1/2 grocery store, 1/2 Ace Hardware. It's a little small, considering all it's trying to provide, but they cover just about all the basic necessities + some niceties in addition.They have a salad bar and hot food bar, and so far everything I've tried has been really good.Staff is pretty friendly & helpful in general.Only major drawback is seems everything is a little pricey overall ... Definitely not for bargain shopping.

I love the selection of fresh fruits, veggies, organic, cheeses, fresh bakery items, sandwiches, salad bar and hot food bar items. The space is clean and bright and pleasant. The people working here are awesome. The quality of the products is high. I've never been disappointed with anything I've bought here. Even the birdseed is good. My HUGE complaint tho, and the reason I've stopped shopping there much, is they sell Round Up and other lethal products, in the hardware section, that is close to and open air accessible to the foods. Having learned the hard way the harms those carcinogens and Parkinson's and Alzheimer's making chemicals can do, having them leach into my food is not an option. If Hardester's would move those chemicals to their other building, or even better: stop selling them, I'd return. I cannot recommend anyone buy contaminated foods.

Are you local? Or are you just passing through? Hardesters is your place for fresh foods and a great deli.

The store is upscale including their prices but the quality makes up for it . Their meat selection is almost as good as their Ocean products that can be found in this county . I managed to catch their buffet tonight , it changes every day . I serve myself , as much as I want , and get it to go . The deli was still open too .

Wic is always an issue. The proper things are not accepted. It's not a very welcoming vibe for me.

Always very nice to shop here, everyone is super friendly, and although some of the prices are a bit high, they always have pretty much everything you need and have lots of fresh produce.

Wow. This place burned down a few years ago-- not during the big Camp fire, but in an isolated incident shortly after. Losing Harbin was tough. Losing Hardester's almost as tough. Their new store is fricking awesome though-- even better than before! The new Harbin is also awesome-- almost better than before and getting better every week. Two reminders that we can overcome anything. Great job guys!

Awesome little market in a small town. Has definitely improved since the original burnt down. I love the deli in the back of the store. Everything they make is high quality and fresh. It even blows a lot of the other local restaurants out of the water. Highly recommend the sushi and deli sandwiches. They have a large selection of many things that you won’t find at larger retail stores around the county like wine and cheese.

This place is awesome!! I moved to Middlelake, and my 1st visit here was ? So friendly & helpful from the time I walked in the door to the time I left. But the 1st visit between Thanksgiving & Christmas? There was a cashier that appeared to have a hot head the person before me was buying tangerines they were on special but rung at reg. Priceshe started getting nasty with the lady & asked front desk if they were yes they were n code given. There was no reason to question the customer & show her frustration n anger openlyAll other visits after have been idealHas handi cap parking & shared parking with a bank NXT to it. It is. Food store with deli & small bakery along with it's Hardware store to the left as you walk in ACE hardware bigger items outside in separate detached closure
