that is my favorite grocery store:D

Don't forget The Fresh Market in the South! Although I guess it is more of a gourmet food market than a grocery store.

In San Diego:

Vons
Food for less
Ralph's--which is Kroger owned
Whole Foods
Trader Joe's
Albertson's
Costcos
Walmart
Super Target
Use to have Safeway--but it changed--it was Food Basket, then Lucky's--then something else...
Food Giant's lurking off the 94 freeway
VIP-Asian Markets


Lately on the Eastside of Seattle:

Safeway
QFC--which owned by Kroger
Whole Foods--yeah, they are building one in Bellevue
Trader Joe's
Umjimanya's Asian Markets
Larry's Food Market
Albertson's

That's all I've seen lately for the past month I've lived here...

I'm an old Southern resident (Tennessee for three years), and I remember the Fresh Market.

Grocery stores in OC parallel those in San Diego, but I'd also add Gelson's, another one of these gourmet-style markets.

And more in Seattle:

Costco
Freddy's aka Fred Meyer
PCC
my favorite, Central Market

and of course Pike Place Market!

Welll...we have (in no particular order):
- Safeway
- Fry's
- Albertsons
- Bashas
- AJ's Fine Foods
- Trader Joes
- Whole Foods
- Wild Oats
- Sun Foods
- Food City
- Sprouts
- Super WalMart
I think that is about it!!

I work at Fred Meyer! :)

In the Bellingham, WA area (where Canadians come to shop), we have:
Fred Meyer :D (also the least expensive gas in the area)
Haggen's (Top Foods to you Seattle folx)
Safeway (in Lynden, near the border)
Albertsons
Costcutter
Grocery Outlet
Costco

In the Vancouver, BC area:
Safeway (if they don't go on strike)
Save On Foods (I love that place)
IGA
T&T Asian Market
Extra Foods
The Great Canadian Superstore aka STUPID STORE :rolleyes:

(did I miss any?) :D

Denver has many of the above, and I won't take time to name them, but one that hasn't been mentioned, and I haven't seen anywhere else is KingSoopers. Yes, it's spelled that way, and it's owned by Krogers.

We also have Grocery Warehouse which is a discount type place -- kinda like Costco, but with only groceries.

does anyone remember the warehouse stores Makro and Pace it was the pre costco, bjs, and sams club?

ooh i totally forgot to add that sams club and costco and smart n final are stores here in scottsdale too!!!
