Could you please exclude Wal-Mart Supercenter and Super Targets since they don't fit with the traditional meaning because they are discount stores with food and they are already nationwide?
Actually, that isn't true, because Wal-Mart has begun opening up neighborhood grocery stores.
But, as far as the other chains here in Birmingham:
Publix
Bruno's
Food World
Southern Family
Piggly Wiggly
Western
Wal-Mart
Giant (not the same as the DC area chain, but owned by the same company, Ahold)
Weis (As mentioned above, a Sunbury, Pa. Based Chain that serves the majority of Pa and some in MD).
Wegman's-While not in the immediate York vicinity, there is one located in the Harrisburg area, and one in Hunt Valley, MD, about a half-hour drive.
Sav-A-Lot..Just one location
An IGA..1 store
Food Lion..this store at one time had 3 or 4 locations around the area, but they are down to one now.
When I lived here before we had Pathmark (based in NJ) and a local chain called Jay's which had a diner in each location. Pathmark has since closed it's York location and Jay's went out of business. There was also another popular local store called "County Market", but that also went under.
Harrisburg, PA (in order of their relative prominence in the area):
Giant (of Carlisle) and Super Giant
Weis
Wegmans
Karns
Wal-Mart Supercenter
Aldi
Save-A-Lot
Shur-Fine grocery sores
There are also a few independent grocery stores in the city like Eagle Supermarket in Uptown.
Location: Concrete jungle where dreams are made of.
