followed by Publix and Trader Joe's.

Walmart was 67 out of 68!

Congratulations again to Wegmans....they scored 90% in all categories.

Hi Terrier! I haven't seen you lately so I hope this finds you well.

I read that issue of CR recently. Of course, that store isn't in most of the country so I was not familiar. But my grocery store out here in the West (west coast chain), Raley's, came out #3 so I was glad to see that.

Thanks for the shout out!

I was in sunny, warm FLA....back to reality (snow today!)...

I dont really see how you can compare a store like Wegmans to one like Tr Joe, Tr Joe is not a full service supermarket.

Trader Joe's did a GREAT job then, to be ranked #3!!!

Wegmans' is great, but their pricing is just not competitive for weekly shopping imo.

Since there isn't one within 500 miles of me, doesn't matter IF they're Number 1 or Number 68.

There's one about 60 miles from me, but agreed, the point is kinda moot, lol.

We don't have Publix in upstate NY.

I just got home from 10 days in FLA - we shopped at Walmart and Publix. I'll take Publix any day - in fact, it reminded me of Wegmans.

Wegmans is my run to store when I need a few items. I've tried to do my regular grocery shopping there but the store is overwhelming large and the fact that the pharmacy is right smack dab in the middle of the store, spreads the grocery aisles out all the more. When I'm doing my weekly shopping, I want a clean, well stocked grocery store with consistently good prices, not a store with many specialty areas. Give me ShopRite any day.

my favorite is THE FRESH MARKET, also rated well.....i love it so much more than wegmans mainly because it is a lot more manageable and i can get in and out of there a lot more quickly.

We don't have any of the top 3 here. Nothing to write home about with the stores here.

We have Publix. It is my "go to" store.

Same here! I have no idea where the closest Wegmans is located. Never seen one.

I've shopped at 5 different Publix stores and they are all different. 4 took over existing buildings, so their layout is very different. I'm constantly roaming around trying to find things like I need a map! One has the best meat department with dishes like chicken cordon bleu ready to go in the oven. The others aren't as good. I think Publix has the best milk in town.

Publix is my Number 1!

I've shopped in 4 Publix's in 4 towns and 2 different states. They were all VERY nice.

This past summer . . . our little run-in grocery store nearby, Publix, Costco & Sam's all totally re-did their stores and moved around all the aisles and total re-organization within about two months. I was beginning to think they were trying to drive me crazy or keep me in their stores longer hunting for stuff and in the end buying more stuff while I was there. haha

I'm wild about Publix, but if we move, there won't be one for 50 miles or more. Wal Mart does have its advantages, but their selection is limited compared to the others.

We buy their organic milk, and they had another brand of organic half & half at a good price. When you cut out soy, you have to start buying organic. Sigh.
