Hitchcock's Market - Hawthorne, Florida

BS

This place sucks plain and simple. The refrigeration is always down, the store is filthy. Ground beef smells sour. The employees could care less about their job. I'm sending the health department there next week due to seeing mold in the store. This is shameful the people of Hawthorne deserve a better store to shop for their families.
Also, they over price everything. Winndixe needs to buy this store out.

This is literally the best option that I have for fresh food in a 10-minute (a little over 10 miles) radius of where I live in the middle of nowhere. Dollar General is closer to me and honestly a bit more higher quality, but it lacks a lot of things, making this store a necessity.

Hitchcock's is a bit expensive, and you have to be really careful with looking at dates on prepackaged food. I once bought potato salad from the deli that was several weeks out of date, which is honestly bizarre, considering how many people shop at this location -- I would think they would have problems keeping stuff ON the shelves...

I've also been quite disappointed by their hot food (fried chicken was greasy, salty, and flavorless).

But hey, it's all that a lot of us have, and it's open late-ish, so that's something.

Ripoff. This store FEEDS on the locals in there town. They hikeup prices BY 500 PERCENT. It should be ILLEGAL. Can't wait for ANOTHER grocery to TAKE OVER. Don't support this criminal of a store. Go to Melrose.

I love shopping locally supporting small businesses. I can generally find what I want. The store brand Essentials is good. BUT...I freeze in the stores and it makes it uninviting to shop. I rush through and do not look at everything the way I normally do in a grocery. Consequently if I forget something I end up going to the Dollar General.
I looked at my receipt and realized I had spent about $100 less on my groceries than normal. I told the manager Eric in Hawthorne. Unless the store temperature is raised up to a comfortable level, I'm going to be forced to change from a local grocery store. I go to Gainesville and/or Palatka 1 to 2 times per week. Until it's changed - Publix here I come. Chris

Needs to be remodeled...produce looked bad. Sell out to Aldi or something. This store is really bad.

Decent store pretty clean a lot of the items are more expensive than you'd pay in the city but if you're only picking up a few items it saves you a 30 minute drive into town. The meat on the other hand is sometimes a little less expensive than you'll find in the city and the cuts are good quality. Also even close to Thanksgiving the stores never really very busy.

This place is awful, do not waste your money or time here. Moved to the area not long ago and this is the closest grocery store for 15/20 miles. First of all, the prices are incredibly inflated, the store is filthy, the whole store reeks with a truly putrid smell and the produce looks awful…. I was hoping with it being a rural area the veggies would be farm fresh and the attitudes would be welcoming. It is the opposite. The cashiers are rude, incompetent and clearly have been raised by wolves….. over and over and over I have been in a great mood, went to go get groceries and by the end of my checkout experience I was truly perturbed each time. The cashiers do not speak, like at all! No total for your groceries, it’s up to you to realize they are done fumbling with the bags to get them open and cashing you out, so you stand there in awkward silence waiting for them to tell you to swipe your card….Never have I heard just a hello, or goodbye or anything really. Remnant of a zombie film, nothing, zero eye contact…. I’ve given chance after chance here and when I finally lost it and couldn’t take the rude weird feelings I was left with after grocery shopping, I asked to speak to a manager…. Well he was not helpful at all, seemed to speak about 4 words more than his co workers, never apologized and said he would talk to a whole other manager. Stood there like he hadn’t solved a problem in his 40 something years just gazed unprofessionally at my dismay… Yeaaaa, I will be driving to the next nearest town where a grocery store is from here on out. I’ve worked in customer service for 15 years plus and it is truly a shame that professional courtesy and basic service requirements were not expected upon hiring hitchcock employees….. maybe this little eye opener of a review will help!
