I was born and raised in NJ, if I had to rank the "local" supermarkets...The trackers have never traveled in the northeast. That is the home of Wegmans supermarket. Wegmans is the epitome of grocery stores in the US. Better bakery, better produce and generally better shopping experience than Publix. Sadly Publix is all the degenerates know. People Down in Florida rave about Publix subs because the use boar's head meat. Boar's head is a product of NY.. Wegmans doesn't even carry boar's head because it doesn't meet their standards despite Wegmans being a NY based chain. If there's one thing I would change about living in Florida, it's the fact that Publix is nothing special. In NY it would be bottom of the barrel.

Aldi/Lidl
Stop & Shop
Acme

The only thing that comes close to Wegmans would be driving out to Long Island and going to Stew Leonards.
