    Kroger, Publix, Whole Foods...that's those are the most apparent...there are LOTS of those stores around here...fortunately, there aren't any Walmarts inside the perimeter (the highway that surrounds Alanta), but they are trying...so far, not succeeding :)

    we have thrifty's, safeway, save-on-foods, farmers market, costco, walmart, lots of places... buying groceries is sometimes an undesireable task when you consider the alternative, my city has the largest number of restaurants per capita in north america.

    You are, Blanche! While Shop*Rite might be a supermarket, RiteAid and Walgreens and CVS are drug stores. Not a place to buy chop meat, fresh veggies or goodies.

    We only have one grocery in the town I live in: Kroger. About three years ago it used to be FoodTown.


    In neighboring cities people shop at Meijer, Farmer Jack, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, WalMart, Busch's
