They started in New York; we stopped at one in Corning years ago. Family-owned, many here in the greater Philly area I guess you’d call us, some up in NJ, opening in DC. Just a terrific place with the best prices, freshest food. I hate grocery shopping but love to go there. I think they’ve been named best grocery store in the US.
Stunned me during the romaine scare. When I checked they said if I had bought any of the contaminated romaine they would have called me! They took all theirs off the shelves but none was from the affected area. When it came back they said it was all from Arizona. They keep a very tight watch on all their suppliers, inspect regularly.
