Georgia's Best Grocery Store, Website Says

ATLANTA, GA — While Publix and Kroger are the grocery store chains with the most locations in Georgia — if you don't count Walmart, which is now the country's biggest seller of groceries — a website says none of those companies are the favorite among consumers. A newly-released ranking says another store has more to offer. Whole Foods has been identified as the best grocery store in Georgia, The Daily Meals says.

The popular food news website, which published its list last week, said of Whole Foods: "Atlanta has spoken. Whole Foods is clearly the best reviewed store on Yelp, and Google Reviews: “Most amazing Whole Foods I've ever been to!! Insane!! Check it out!!”

To come up with its list, The Daily Mail said it "scoured the Internet" for as much information as it could find, cross-referencing other best-of lists that have previously been written as well as reviews on Google, Yelp, Foursquare and Facebook.

"We also conducted informal polls of friends, family, and acquaintances in far-off states in search of the answer, weighing concerns and praise about price, quality of products, and customer service, as well as store cleanliness," according to the site.

A survey of customer loyalty released in May 2017 by Market Force said that America's favorite grocery store was a tie between New York-based Wegmans and Florida-based Publix. Trader Joe's was a very close second. This is the second consecutive year that Wegmans has held the top spot in the annual study, while Publix, which ranked second for the past four years, moved up into a first-place tie with Wegmans, with each scoring 77 percent on Market Force's Customer Loyalty Index.

There are no Wegmans stores in Georgia, while Publix stores has 187 stores across the state.
