I am still new to TV and Florida.
We were spoiled in the mid-Atlantic states. If you've never been to a Wegmans, you are missing something special.
In Chicago, I visited a Dominick's (I think that was the name), it was very nice.
In Virginia, there was a smaller chain named Ukrop's. It was special.
The Ukrop and Wegmann families were friends. They shared trade secrets and agreed to never poach the other's territory. The owners of Harris-Teeter were also friends with the Ukrops and Wegmanns. They all vacationed together in the summers. They would help each other with distribution, marketing, other industry practices.
Supposedly, hot food packaging and sales began with one of these companies.
We had Lidl and Aldi in the mid-Atlantic. Both are owned by brothers who would compete with one another. One of them also owns Trader Joe's.
Publix is nice, but expensive.
Winn Dixie is fine.
The Walmart Neighborhood Market in TV is nice.
I do wish we had more choices around TV, though.
By the way, why does Kroger advertise on TV, but I haven't see one anywhere near.

Leaving the store my wife said, my bad, we will shop at Publix. There is a nice one near our house and it took us 30 minutes to get to Winn Dixie.
