Here in Jacksonville, we have The Fresh Market, Aldi’s, Publix, Winn Dixie now owned by Aldi’s, Super Walmart, and Trader Joe’s although I’ve shopped at all of them, Publix is the one we shop 90% of the time
Here in North Idaho, we have Safeway and a great little boutique store called “Pilgrim’s Market.” A Trader Joe’s is coming and it’s going in right across the street from Pilgrim’s Market. Pilgrim’s has a brand “MRH” which stands for “Made Right Here.” Their MRH produce and products are outstanding.
We also have another great regional store called “Super 1 Foods.”
I was in Jax late 70s and 80s. Seemed like Winn Dixie was frequently in the news.
Publix has always been my favorite, but I’m too far north past the Mason-Dixon Line to have one nearby. When I’m in the South, I MUST go into one at least once. I really miss having one close by.
There’s one Aldi’s sorta near me, but the last time I went there it was very limited. I never understood the draw.
We do have a Fresh Thyme Market about 25 minutes away, and I do enjoy shopping there. I wish it was bigger.
Nothing else on that list is remotely near me. Trader Joe’s is over an hour’s drive for me, and it’s in a really built up part of the city. Traffic is a nightmare over there, so I very, very rarely go over there. Gas costs too much.
I do enjoy shopping at Meijer from time to time, but I didn’t see that on the list.
There’s a decent Whole Foods near Neptune Beach but like Fresh Market, $$$.
