Shoppers prefer smaller grocers over Wal-Mart: poll

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Wegmans and Trader Joe's draw top marks from shoppers while Wal-Mart Stores Inc, the largest U.S. grocery retailer, is near the bottom in a new survey, Consumer Reports said on Monday.

The rankings come at a key time for grocers, as cash-strapped consumers have been skipping trips to restaurants and buying groceries as they try to cook less expensive meals.

Besides privately held Wegmans and Trader Joe's, other chains that received high marks were Publix Super Markets Inc, Raley's, Ruddick Corp's Harris Teeter, Fareway, Costco Wholesale Corp, Whole Foods Market, Market Basket, WinCo Foods, and Stater Bros, according to Consumer Reports.


Wal-mart doesn't seem to rate well with the "Common Man".

kroger,a regional and local grocer,and walmart.

compared to the others, walmart sucks because it takes for ever to get in and out of the store. there is`t a really big average price difference between the stores. there are none of the grocers (other than walmart) mentioned in the article are near where i live.
