Consumers Name 12 Worst Supermarket Chains in America

Of the chains currently in or close to Altadena, only Ralphs makes the list, at spot #10. Consumers scored Walmart SuperCenters second worst of the 12 worst supermarkets.

Walmart and Kroger-owned Ralphs Grocery have been named two of the 12 worst supermarket chains in America, according to a Consumer Reports survey.

More than 24,000 grocery store shoppers nationwide were asked to score the service, food quality, price and cleanliness of their local chains.

According to the survey, Ralphs was considered "mediocre on everything but cleanliness, which was just above average." Walmart received "scathing reviews on service, poor review on food quality, a mediocre score on cleanliness ... However, they did get a 'highly satisfied' score on price."
