I'm curious, what are the big grocery store chains in your

Saw the thumbnail and thought it was publix and you fucking let me down

In the US the best chains are publix and wegmans, we literally have a deal with wegmans where they won't expand south and we won't expand north because people love us both so much and competition would just be stupid

tesco, auchan, metro, spar, aldi, lidl, penny market and some local ones like coop and CBA

I've never heard of either of these stores in my life.

walmart doesn't count as a grocery store desu, though they are making "community markets" more to appeal in gentrified areas

we have shitloads but i only have experience on the east coast and the rockies. up north we have giant, acme, superfresh; south we have kroger, publix, wegmans, piggly wiggly, winndixie. whole foods is also getting bigger across the country.

ive seen one aldi and one lidl, but I doubt they're popular anywhere in the us. i just assume non-first world countries have bazaars and farmers market more than chains

Then you must live out west where the best chain is fucking Trader Joe's lmao

Publix and wegmans are both consistently ranked the nations favorite grocery stores every year and with good reason

In Southern California stores like Vons-Pavilions-Albertsons, Ralphs and Sprouts are the big stores. Ralphs is lower middle class segment, Vons-Pavilions-Albertsons group which is owned by Safeway is the mainstream middle class brand, and Sprouts is the upper middle class brand that seems to be the busiest here.

We also have Bristol Farms which is high end, usually only found in areas with a $100,000 average income or higher bracket or Whole Foods which caters towards liberals.

We also have Food 4 Less, which sucks but is cheap. There are two big Hispanic chains here; El Super, who sells electronics too and Big Saver. El Super is Mexican owned and the shittier discount brand. Big Saver is run by Mexican-Americans and is the more premium brand despite the name, though is just middle class by US standards.

We also have Marukai markets, a niche Japanese-American chain which caters to primarily Japanese tastes but also has some stuff specifically for general Americans, Koreans and Mexicans. It's very high quality, predominantly US/JAP made and has middle income pricing. Probably the best bang for you buck regarding meats but they don't sell much cheap stuff and there are only a few

Trader Joe's is the US branch of Aldi and features cheap imports. I go there for middle eastern and scandinavian food for cheap.

Target and Walmart our two major general stores sell groceries now too.

I'm an upper Middle-Class Mexican-American in an upper middle income suburb just North-East of Los Angeles. I go to Ralphs for cheap staples like rice, corn, soups and pasta; I get canned foods, premade foods, bread and microwage meals at Pavilions, get my meats at Sprouts and do the rest of my shopping at Marukai. Target is only used when the other places are closed. I go to Bristol Farms for specialty foods when I'm going to be prissy about quality.

Wegmans is fucking awesome. I wish we had them in California. They'd probably do well in the Bay Area. I suspect they'll launch here in the next few years.
