Piggly Wiggly
Piggly Wiggly has to be the worst name I have ever heard for a place to buy food. What were they thinking It makes me think of grease and oil over all the food.
Stop & Shop and Shaw's are probably the two biggest grocery chains in the Boston area. Other than that, there are some smaller ones like Roche Brothers. We used to have Star Market until it was bought out by Shaw's. I also remember when Ro-Jack's was still in business.
Albertson's
Kroger
Tom Thumb
Whole Foods
Brookshire's
Fiesta
Minyard's
Carnival
Sack-N-Save
We used to have Jewel/Osco. I liked those stores.
Gone and to be forgotten:
Winn Dixie-Bakery was nasty and cakes tasted like chemicals
Food Lion-They would repackage spoiled MEAT and resale it. Undercover news reporters caught them doing this on camera. I remember the CEO actually made a commercial apologizing for the happening.
Affiliated-Just nasty and low grade store in general.

Jewel sold out to Albertson's but retained the name of Jewel. Dominick's sold out to Safeway, but retained their name. The others like Cosco, Walmart, Aldi, etc. are national chains or in the case of Walmart and Aldi, national chains. Aldi is a German owned company. Walmart is now global. The largest Walmart I've ever been to was in Mexico. It made the ones here look like a general store. Amazing.
