Also impressed with the Reno, Nv. Sams Club. Wish we could encourage Wegmans to move to NW.Arkansas where we home base but I guess that can't happen. Walmart probably won't allow it. For me there is no choice here, just superWalmart, remember Bentonville, Ark. home of Walmart.

They have undeniably the most inexpensive produce, low prices on all their other goods, and a terrific vitamin/supplement/etc section. They also knock $0.10 off your total at checkout when you bring your own bag...which I know many places do, but I still like when they do it the best. Good list otherwise. I miss my Trader Joe's. We need to get one of those in Colorado. I’m sure it’s because of the size and number of locations, but here in Denver, CO, my favorite healthy supermarket to frequent is Sunflower.

I can tell you first hand you missed a big one! Hy-Vee in the midwest has a dietitian available at nearly every store in the company. My daughter was diagnosed with a milk allergy at an early age and they were a great resource. Stores are willing to carry any product you suggest and they even have a "community club room" that is used as a classroom setting in their store. I know a store in West Des Moines holds the regular area allergy network meeting. This is by far the best grocery store I have ever been in! They are also very involved in the community and sponsored the Hy-Vee Triathlon for the last two years. Over 1200 amateur participants in 2008 from all over the country!

I used to live in Ithaca, NY, and LOVED Weg's - it's so big, but not too over priced and has tons of items. As for Whole Foods as #1, I am also surprised by that choice. 1) It's called "whole paycheck" by my friends, because it's ridiculously over-priced. Also, many of their home made foods are very high in fat, especially baked goods, and are placed right at the check out lanes - thanks for nothin' Whole Foods - get that stuff out of my face I'm trying to lose weight! So I think this list should be revised - take out Whole Foods and give Wegman's the cred it deserves! I agree with many of the comments.

I think thay should consider another criteris for ranking the groccery stores. They, definitely, should not sell sugar, that might kill someone with diabetis,and also is exluded from most af the healthy diets...... Wake up people!!! the store is pretty good when covers most of the country, sell quality products and reasonable prices..... What’s the big deal about selling tobacco?
