People's choice of grocery store has to do with many things. Proximity to where they live, accessibility by a certain mode of transportation, quality of product, price, and support of local community all play a role.

Me? I just like the layout of the Big Y store in my city. Plus, I really do feel like I can trust the employees. They are pleasant, personable, respectful, they don't avoid you, and they seem like they genuinely enjoy their job. This is seemingly rare these days.

Big Y World Class Market has been named "Most Trustworthy" in America.

What do they mean by trust?

Customer trust, employee trust, and investor trust.

Newsweek’s methodology evaluated trust through three pillars: customer trust, employee trust, and investor trust. An independent survey of 25,000 U.S. residents, combined with a social listening analysis of 304,000 online mentions, formed the basis of the rankings. -newsweek.com
