fightingsioux4life Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hugo's sucks Anything is better than the poor customer service and poorly-maintained inventory of the Wal-Mart Super Center. I used to go there for some groceries, but I got tired of product running out and not being replaced and putting up with all the prissy missy checkout personnel. And some of the blame for that is on the management for not training them properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodak651 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Communism is where the worker owns the company or means of production. So a small business owner is a communist? You have to be a troll... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodak651 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Not the same thing. Owner vs. owners the plural form. See the difference? Only that you are a dumbass. Edit: and you said "worker", which is singular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I give Hugo's and valley dairy credit for growing with the city when no other gas or grocery stores do, but dang it would be nice to have other choices/competitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodak651 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Grand Forks has enough chains! How about more restaurants like Darcy's, parrots cay, blue moose, and red pepper! We need more local owner-operator joints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux04 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I wouldn't mind a joes crab shack or a sonic Sonic is nothing special at all. On the other hand, Joe's Crab Shack is the bomb! I don't see Grand Forks having a chance at getting one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Wouldn't mind seeing an A&W / Long John Silvers combo like Fargo has. Wish they would have never gotten rid of the A&W on the north end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Produce is my biggest problem - if it wasn't so bad, I'd probably overlook the other issues (besides the drearyness of the stores). I'm in grand forks and Target blows them out of the water on the quality of produce, which is quite sad for Hugos. If I had to say where I prefer going, it would probably be Super One. I grew up with Byerly's and am a wannabe chef, so I admittedly have somewhat higher standards. Worked produce at Hugo's way back. We threw lots away every day/night. Lots. They have nothing to do with the product. It's all from the grocery supplier in this case Nash Finch based out of Twin Cities I believe. Though maybe they were bought out recently??? Huge supplier that I'm sure gives their better product to bigger money markets. And you are right that Target's does look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Hugo's doesn't get resupplied often enough so the produce goes bad? I've noticed it with their avocados... they are either black or bright green it seems like.

I've noticed it with their avocados... they are either black or bright green it seems like. Partly. trucks used to show up like 5 or 6 nights a week. Depends if people buy enough early so it gets reordered, but plenty of times what came on the truck wasn't the highest quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed it with their avocados... they are either black or bright green it seems like. I've always thought the 32nd Ave location had the best selection. Haven't ever checked out the EGF store. Seems like a timing issue sometimes, which makes sense with the buying patterns of things like that around here plus taking into account the location and time it takes to get fresh produce to a place like Grand Forks, but I've never personally felt that any place in town was head and shoulders above the rest and Hugu's usually seems to have what I need.

RollTribe Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Never been a big fan of Hugo's, yes they are okay and get the job done. But I hope they look at Hornbacher's in Fargo when they design the inside of their new store. Much better lighting, cleaner, and more selection!

Hugo's tends to reflect the purchasing power of the neighborhood that they are in. The 32nd St has by far the widest selection, including organics and high end. Those are not found in the north end store. The Columbia Rd, Washington, and EGF stores have minimal selection of the 32nd St store. Publix stores are not all the same- they reflect the neighborhood income - and neither are Hugo's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
