A new tally of supermarkets names a Northeastern regional chain as the best grocery store in the nation.
Consumer Reports has crunched the data and found Wegmansto be the top pick. For those who are not familiar with Wegmans, this is a store that has been consistently adored through the years by people who shop there.
In second place, we have Trader Joe's, the national alternative grocer that is a real crowd pleaser and distinguishes itself by doing natural and organic food for less money. In third place, we have the Southeastern regional chain Publix, which has topped the American Customer Satisfaction Index for 17 years.
At the other extreme, the lowest score was earned by Northeastern chain Pathmark. Adding insult to injury, they're the only supermarket chain that got a bad score on cleanliness, and they actually beat out Wal-Mart for being bad!
According to Consumer Reports, 32% of Wal-Mart grocery shopper reported having three or more problems at the store, while 31% of Pathmark shopper reported the same. Though the one area where Wal-Mart does do a great job in is price. (No surprise there!)
However, the price champ of them all, Aldi, got a very good score. They were not near the very top, but they still did well. So not only do you get the good prices with Aldi, but you have a shopping experience that people found pleasant
