          Kroger
          Meijer
          Giant Eagle
          Wal Mart
          Target
          Whole Foods
          Trader Joe's
          Anderson's

          ...and then an assortment of upscale indys - Carf@gna's, Hills Mkt & Weiland's, plus a Mexican grocery.

          I avoid Walmart; I don't buy groceries (like - a whole order) at Target; Whole Foods is too much $ for me b/c I can get similar stuff for less at other places.

          Meijer is the best overall.

                Wegmans dominates here in Rochester, NY (it's the place where they started and their main offices are) with Tops a distant second.

                  I work for a subsidiary of Kroger called Gerbes (we're actually a Dillons store). The Kroger stores also include Ralphs, King Soopers, City Market, Dillons, Smith's, Fry's, Quality Food Center, Baker's, Owen's, JayC, Pay Less Supermarkets, Scott's, Food4Less, and Fred Meyer.

                  The main stores here are Gerbes, Hy-Vee, Schnucks (although the rumor is that we've purchased their stores in central Missouri, with the take-over being final early next year [this might be utter hogwash]), Aldi, Wal-Mart, and Moser's. We've dominated this area and have pretty much owned Kansas (especially around Topeka and Wichita) for decades, but Hy-Vee is simply fearless and won't hesitate to build across the street from either us or Wal-Mart.

                    This is basically what the inside of our local Wegman's looks like. As I have said before the county in Maryland where I reside does not allow beer and wine sales at grocery stores. Fortunately, there is a killer store nearby that has a selection that beats out any grocery store where I have seen beer and wine carried. It is the "go to" store for anything obscure or hard to find.

                      Though I remember them more when I was in Brooklyn & NY, there doesn't seem to be any located in Jersey anymore:

                        There's still a Grand Union in Stamford,NY? That's cool. That one has been there since I was a kid.
