Hareli Fresh Market Frisco Coit Rd — Local services in Frisco

Hareli Fresh Market in Frisco advertises freshness in its very name, yet somehow delivers the opposite—produce that looks weary, aisles that feel cluttered, and a general air of neglect that begins before you even reach the door.

The exterior sets the tone: abandoned carts parked at odd angles, discarded receipts and plastic bags drifting along the curb, and weeds sprouting unchecked through the cracks in the pavement. The landscaping is perfunctory at best—patches of dirt masquerading as flowerbeds, a few shrubs that look like they’re halfway through surrendering to the Texas heat. It’s the sort of presentation that says, ‘Good enough, they won’t notice.’

Inside, the ‘fresh’ in Hareli Fresh Market is mostly aspirational. Methi leaves limp and wilting, okra tough and fibrous, and mangoes either underripe or bruised to the point of collapse. Vegetables are stacked in bins without care, with no sense of the visual order that turns food into an invitation rather than a warning.

The aisles are narrow and congested with mismatched displays—spices in one corner, loose snack packets spilling into the walkway, and bags of rice stacked precariously like some retail Jenga tower. The frozen section is a frosty mess of half-sealed boxes and frostbitten vegetables.

The clientele treat the place as a social hub—families chatting in clusters in the middle of aisles, children darting unchecked between displays, and a constant din that makes shopping feel more like pushing through a street bazaar during festival season.

A store that calls itself a ‘fresh market’ should exude care and precision, from its landscaping to its shelving. Hareli Fresh Market delivers neither. For those of us who grew up in households where presentation was as important as product, this is not a market—it’s a warehouse wearing a...

They sold tickets for Easter egg hunt. First of all, it's a terrible organization. We came exactly at 2:50 to stand in a huge line for the tickets, thought I had bought them online for $15. Then some of the people just rushed outside, but then they locked the doors and made everyone go back. Then there was another line to get outside! Then outside they made everyone wait another 20 minutes because there were no eggs before a lady brought ONE!!! box of eggs (which is not enough even for each kid to have one egg) and started putting the candy in front of EVERYBODY. So they hadn't even done that in advance. Then she said she's gonna give out the eggs to children and all the crowd just rushed to her (both adults and children, it was dangerous because there were like more than 100 people). I went inside to tell the organizers about the situation and there were more people complaining inside. The next moment the same lady walks in followed by a crowd of kids and adults and says she's gonna give out the eggs to the kids and they need to line up. That's crazy, dangerous, not thought through event that a lot of people paid and some just didn't. I feel scammed because those people are frauds. I want my money back because my child was looking forward to this "event" but it was completely disastrous. We left because I didn't want my child to take part in this "circus". You better give money back to all the people that...

Don’t buy rice from here!!!

We purchased Godavari Sona Masoori rice and found it infested with rice weevils the moment we opened the bag. While technically still safe to consume, it’s disgusting and clearly shows the rice is not fresh and that there’s no proper pest control in place. That said, the fact that this happened at all, means the infestation likely occurred somewhere along the store or supply chain which is unacceptable.

If you’re a customer who’s had the same issue, I recommend using food grade diatomaceous earth to prevent the weevils from spreading in your pantry. Also, transfer the rice to an airtight container...
