Trader Joe's has fallen to number three. Number two on the list is Publix, a supermarket chain in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and South Carolina.

The Huffington Post reported that the rankings come from over 10,000 consumers who rated their satisfaction with a recent grocery store and how likely they are to recommend it to others.

Number one on the list is Wegmans, which has locations Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
