Supermarket Rankings
Supermarket Rankings For those who have been reading my Blog, I've mentioned my favorite supermarket where I do the majority of my shopping - Wegman's, a N.E. Regional chain. Consumer Reports recently surveyed 27,208 readers to rank 55 supermarket chains in the U.S. The top three stores — Wegmans, an East Coast chain, Trader Joe's, a Southern California-based specialty food chain, and Publix, a Southern chain — all had high marks for service and cleanliness. Wal-Mart had a bad reputation among customers, ranking dead last. Customers complained about slow checkout speeds and subpar food quality.
