Trader Joe's is America's favorite supermarket, but other chains won in the Northeast

Supermarket shoppers have spoken, crowning a new top spot to grab their groceries this year.

Trader Joe's dethroned Publix to become No. 1 in grocery store satisfaction in the U.S. this year, according to a report by the American Customer Satisfaction Index.

Known for its affordable specialty foods and cult-favorite snacks, Trader Joe's beat out the Florida staple by two points.

It also ranked above Costco's low-priced bulk items and viral food court offerings.

Trader Joe's may be America's favorite supermarket this year, but it didn't even crack the top 3 for shoppers in the Northeast.

Aldi, ShopRite and Walmart were all tied for the top spot in the region, with BJ's Wholesale Club coming in fourth place.

When it comes to customer experiences at the supermarket, food quality is far from the top, with convenient store hours and location, easy pickup and reliable mobile apps all ranking above it.
