However, popularity isn't solely determined by store count. What's the most popular go-to grocery store chain in New Jersey? Well, it depends on who you ask.
Customers consider a variety of factors when determining their favorite supermarket including, pricing, product selection, and overall shopping experience. Location definitely comes into play as well.
