Grocery stores

You're probably being influenced and you don't even know it.

A massive merger of grocery store chains that included many locations in Illinois is now on immediate hold thanks to concern from government regulators.

There's a brand new ranking of grocery stores in America for 2024 that's based purely on customer satisfaction. The store rated higher than any other now has 9 locations in Missouri.

The internet is a great place to complain. This is more evidence of that. Shoppers around the country were invited to sound off about their least favorite places to buy groceries and boy did they produce a list. Missouri is loaded with 128 of the #1 least liked grocery store that shoppers claim they loathe, yet come back to time and time again.

If you ask just about anyone which store has the least expensive groceries, you'll get the same answer. That grocery store chain has just added 3 new locations for a total of 97 stores in Missouri now.

It's not the most visited grocery store in Illinois, but the most visited grocery store in the US has 30-plus locations here in the Land of Lincoln. Which grocery store did Americans visit the most in 2023? Here are the details...

I've never had a problem with stores that are considered expensive. If you don't have the money to shop there, then don't. Those that do likely have a good reason and that's probably what's happening with a grocery chain that was just named the most overpriced in America. It only has 4 very exquisite Missouri stores.

If there's one thing that's constant in the world of business, it's change. That's true for at least 14 Illinois grocery stores that have reportedly just been sold. No word if they'll close their doors or just go through a big change.

Think you can't afford groceries anymore? You're not the only one-- the latest data from the federal government shows almost every American family is struggling with the high costs of inflation.

Never underestimate a small town's ability to rise up and do something special. That is the story for one tiny Illinois town that was about to lose its only grocery store until citizens decided to do something about it. What they've done has now gone viral and become national news.
