The worker in the first picture is the nicest guy you'll ever meet and can tell you what the top song was for any given week since before 1950. Its crazy

The store in the picture is one of the originals in Buffalo. Every year Wegmans opens 2-3 new stores in new markets. Those stores are even bigger than mine believe it or not.

Yes they are a great grocery store to shop at and a great place to work. They give me (any any worker) who is going through college a scholarship for averaging more than 10hrs per week and having worked there for at least a year(?). They are a greatly run company

The new Kroger Marketplace right across the st, this place is huge.

wvuwhat · Dec 13, 2012, 09:24 PM

Which one of the Harris Teeter's would you like me to post? There are 4 of them within 2 miles. 6 within 5 miles. Add in 3 Giants and 2 Wegmans within the 5 mile radius. A Safeway and 2 ethic food chains. It's a joke.

They built one of those around the corner from my house when I lived in Little Elm.

My local store, Sainsbury's.

I much prefer the design of the 'typical' American store

Although, I do like my local store!

My local supermarket was apparently the first zero-carbon store

iDutchman · Dec 14, 2012, 04:35 PM

I also often go to this Albert Heijn.

The supermarket is actually located underground and in summertime people chill and relax on the green roof of the supermarket. As you see, you can walk up there with the shape of the supermarket's roof.

A really nice integration between nature and a beautiful city image and a nice quality supermarket.

Don't get fooled, it's quite a big supermarket!

The roof/field:

I always wondered what Tesco was. I heard Steve Coogan refer to it on Saxondale. Small cultural references like that confuse me when I watch British TV shows.

I love the ramen section of any asian grocery store.

Great Wall of Ramen

This is from 168 Market in San Gabriel, CA

I've put a lot of effort into avoiding factory farmed products. In doing so, I feel like I have rediscovered grocery shopping and food in general. The following two markets allow me to easily get everything I need while ensuring that any animal products are humane.

I get a weekly produce delivery from Washington's Green Grocer. It's a lot like a CSA.

MOM's is my favorite grocery store. Unlike most "natural food markets," they offer a wide selection and a great atmosphere.
