If you can't make the Saturday Grand Opening, you could get up early Sunday and get yourself a free Collapsible Colander.

FLL, I'm shocked you haven't posted this already... maybe trying to cut down on the competition?

While Hannaford's as a rule doesn't offer free courtesy cups of hot coffee at any of their lakes regions stores, the Gilford-Lowe's freebie coffee in the cheapie foam cups is very close by at the Lowe's second entrance just across from the pizza restaurant whose name I cannot remember.

Figures that a Belgium owned food store like (Louis) Delhaize Group's Hannaford food chain with some 2600 stores www.delhaizegroup.com world-wide would need a Lowe's next store to go score a freebie hot coffee ........... bottoms up to the Lowe's next door! ...

They had free coffee this morning... and it was in a cheapie paper cup!

I got there at about 6.30 am the parking lot was full and the line wrapped all the way to the loading dock ramps. They did open a little early, and the line moved fairly quickly.

They did run out of the "Gift Cards" before we got I got in, but they did hand out $5 off coupons that are good until 12/30/2011.

Store is very nice, "feels" larger than the old Hannafords. They also added a couple of those "self checkout" lanes, that are good when you just have a few items.

I checked out the price of the ground cloves at the old Hannaford's last week and it had risen from $7.99 to $8.19. I wonder when that jar of cloves crossed the street, if it added a few more cents to its cash register? Ka-ching, Ka-ching!

We got there at 6:50 am this morning; the lot was full and it looked like the line went around the side of the store. It appeared that we were at least 1/2 hour late to be in the 1st 300 so we passed by and made a quick stop in Lowe's. Then we went over to Shaw's, held our noses, and went in for the milk and eggs we needed today, will try the new Hannafords maybe in Monday.

As we went by the new Hannaford store at 7:30 am it looked like there were still about 100 in line to get in. Probably the fire dept approved store capacity had been reached.
