Wegmans ranked as #1 supermarket. Again.
Not surprising: Wegmans was again the #1 ranked supermarket in Consumer Reports annual survey of its readers with a score of 88.
Number two? Trader Joe's (again) with a score of 86.
A lot of the other local chains didn't score that badly, though their ranks were a bit lower:
Hannaford ranked #19 (score 79) | Aldi #20 (79) | ShopRite #24 (78) | Price Chopper #30 (76) | Walmart #51 (69)
Fresh Market wasn't included in the rankings.
CR says the survey is a measure of "overall satisfaction" -- and differences of fewer than five points in a supermarket score are not meaningful. Also: "These findings represent the experiences of our readers, not necessarily those of the general population."
About Trader Joe's... A few people have asked if there's an opening date, yet. As of two weeks ago, the company said it still didn't have a date.

I'm glad to see Hannaford ranked nicely. They're my favorite grocery chain in Albany. With the new Shop Rites and the TJ's coming to town I really hope they don't get lost in the shuffle. They've consistently been a good, no-hassle place for groceries and I like the improvements they've been making here and there to beef their stores up in preparation for the competition.
