For the second straight year, America’s favorite supermarket is something less than a household name.
The Fresh Market took the top honor again this year, according to the USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. The chain — which has 159 locations in 22 states — was among the supermarkets that shoppers chose during a 28-day popular vote hosted by the USA Today 10Best website.
According to USA Today, The Fresh Market modeled itself after the food markets of Europe, offering “a place where shoppers could have a more intimate and personalized experience than the warehouse-style supermarkets of the time.”
In a press release celebrating its first-place finish, The Fresh Market says:
“The Fresh Market is a destination for guests to discover convenient, restaurant quality meals, premium baked goods, fresh cut flowers, fresh seasonal produce, unique ingredients from around the globe and the finest meat and seafood in their town.”
The supermarkets that finished in the Readers’ Choice top 10 are:
- The Fresh Market
- Hy-Vee
- Aldi
- Lidl
- Stew Leonard’s
- Market Basket
- Publix
- Wegmans Food Markets
- Trader Joe’s
- PCC Community Markets
