Looking
for a meal for one or two at a price you can afford that is good!  Well it seems that many consumers are doing
the same thing and that they are doing that with gusto at Trader Joe’s.  According to Steven Johnson Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA
based Foodservice Solutions® “In the minds-eye of the consumer Trader Joe’s has
a ‘halo’ of better for you wrapped all around the brand.”

In
case you have not heard, Trader Joe’s beat out other food retailers when it
comes to customer service, according to a new survey from data and consumer
insights firm HundredX in partnership
with Forbes.

The
study, released recently, lists the top 300 brands in terms of customer service
across multiple industries. The ranking is based on more than 4 million pieces
of consumer feedback on over 3,000 businesses during the past year.


Trader
Joe’s came in at No. 5, just below USAA, REI, Chick-fil-A and, at No. 1, The
UPS Store.

Publix
Super Markets took 7th place, followed by Wegmans (24th), H-E-B-owned Central
Market (35th), Albertsons-owned Market Street (37th) and H-E-B (54th).

Further
down on the list was Hy-Vee (107), The Fresh Market (123), Natural Grocers
(127), Whole Foods (133), Sam’s Club (144), Sprouts Farmers Market (167),
Kroger-owned Harris Teeter (173), Ahold Delhaize-owned Martin’s (188), Target
(204), Ingles (215), Piggly Wiggly (239), Stater Bros. (242), Albertsons-owned
Tom Thumb (289) and Market Basket (292).

The
authors of the report noted that the excellence in customer service provided by
the 300 companies on this year’s list have a “clear connection to the
likelihood customers will spend with the brand again.”
