Best grocery stores in America.

 

1. Walmart INC.

With revenues over $467 billion in FY2022, Walmart is yet again at the top of the list for the leading grocery retailer (it generated more than 25% of all food sales in the US). This statistic comprises over $73 billion in revenue attributable to Sam's Club in the United States, which Walmart owns. The combined store count of Walmart and Sam's Club exceeds 5,300.

We combined Walmart and Sam's Club's annual years for this list since WMT's fiscal year, which finishes on JAN 30, covers 11 months of 2021. While Walmart is not classed as a grocery, it rules the United States supermarket chain and is unquestionably the leading best grocery store in the USA. Hence it remains the nation's largest supermarket chain.

 

2. Hy-Vee

Hy-Vee has over 240 outlets in seven Midwestern states. The shops have functioned independently since the chain's inception in 1938, selecting their goods, pricing, and marketing. The tagline, "A Helpful Smile in Every Aisle," offers a touch of Midwestern warmth to all its staff-owned stores in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, and South Dakota.

 

3. Wegmans

Wegmans, founded in 1916, has over 100 shops across seven states (Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, and North Carolina). In elegant stores, the hallways are packed with a multitude of options.

Wegmans provides food and beverage, restaurant-style cooked cuisine in oven-safe wrapping, and cold-pressed juices and brown rice. Wegmans Sustainable Farm & Vineyard in Canandaigua, New York, where numerous farming techniques have been experimented with — the complex even has dairy caves created to replicate those in Europe — is responsible for the supermarket's dedication to acquiring the highest-quality seasonal fruit.

 

Worst grocery stores in America.

 

1. Weis Markets, Inc.

Weis Markets earned a lower total score than other supermarkets like Ralphs and Stop & Shop, although the grades within the sections were comparable. A short Yelp search revealed that sites in Lancaster, PA, and Odenton, MD, scored 2.5 stars out of 5, while Chambersburg, PA, had a 1.5-star review. The most common complaint was about poor customer service. "Anyone wondered why parking is so simple at Weis Markets along Wayne Avenue?" said one reviewer of the Chambersburg outlet. "Since nobody goes there any longer."

 

2. Stop & Shop

Even though their tagline is "Good Food, Cheap Prices, Friendly Service," Stop & Shop scored just marginally above average rankings for hygiene. Still, poor ratings for pricing, meat and produce quality, and service imply that they're not exactly doing anything terrible, but they aren't doing anything good.

 

3. Ralphs

Ralphs, the earliest grocery store chain in the West and a subsidiary of Cincinnati-based Kroger, received comparable ratings as Stop & Shop - poor on all counts except sanitation, which was slightly higher than average. Ralphs had a significant presence in Central California for many years before closing its northern stores in 2006.
