The Rochester-based Wegmans grocery chain was chosen as Number One in a Consumer Reports survey of the nation's grocery shoppers.
It's the same ranking Wegmans received the last time the magazine released a survey of shoppers in 2006.
Consumer Reports announced Monday that the family-owned regional market is the "most satisfying chain" of the 59 national and regional supermarkets, supercenters and warehouse clubs included in the survey.
Wegmans fared particularly well for its customer service, its produce and its meats.
No other grocery chain in upstate New York ranks in the Top 10 on the list. Discounter Aldi is at No. 14 and Price Chopper is No. 27. Tops is No. 51 of 59.
Price Chopper was even beat out by it's big competitor Hannaford.
But they all beat Walmart
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
I've shopped at Wegmans in Syracuse and their stores are much better than Price Chopper except for seafood which both are about the same. Price Chopper has some work to do.
