Publix Super Markets tied with New York’s Wegman’s for top honors in a national survey of grocery customer loyalty. Trader Joe’s came in second, and Wal-mart ranked last among 23 businesses included in the survey.
Publix ranked highest in four out of seven qualities surveyed:
- Fast checkouts
- Availability of items
- Ease of finding items
- Store cleanliness.
Publix came in second in two areas: cashier courtesy and specialty department service. It failed to crack the top 15 in value for money.
