Trader Joe's loses top spot as 'favorite grocery store' for the first time in four years

For the first time in four years, Trader Joe's no longer holds the title as America's Favorite Grocery Store. In fact, it's fallen back two spots to number three.

Let's take a moment of silence for all of the organic junkies out there.

This year, bargain megastore Wegmans took the crown, followed closely behind by Publix.

The information came as a result of a survey of more than 10,000 people by Market Force Information.

The stores were ranked across a number of categories, including quality of the food the store provides, checkout speed, overall value and customer service.

Take a look at these favorite items from Trader Joe's:

Wegmans clinched the top spot strongly due to the specialty items it offers as well as the quick checkout experience, coming in with a customer loyalty rating of 76 percent.

Trader Joe's overall customer loyalty rating was a close 73 percent.

But in an industry as competitive as the grocery chain world, that 3 percent can make all the difference when it comes to customer loyalty. The survey found that only a mere 4.3 percent of customers would consider changing grocers.

But Chief Strategy Officer of Market Force, Cheryl Fink, points out that this doesn't mean the end for Trader Joe's:

While this new information could signify the rise of Wegmans, it certainly does not mean the fall of Trader Joe's.

We wouldn't count on having to live without that Speculoos Cookie Butter any time soon.
