Study ranks best grocery chains in the U.S.

A study shows Wegmans and Publix are tied for America's favorite grocery store. The 12,700 person study was done by Market Force, a company focused on consumer experience.

Participants in the online survey ranked the stores based on a Customer Loyalty Index that looks at a customer's satisfaction with their last shopping experience at a grocery store. It also looks at whether or not they would refer the store to others.
