Study names Gilbert grocery store the best in the country
Nearly everyone shops at grocery stores, but the experience can vary widely (to say the least). Some visits are quick and efficient, while others can be frustrating due to long lines, unhelpful staff, or poor product quality.
A recent study by Solitaired aimed to identify the best and worst grocery stores in America by analyzing Google reviews from 3,000 stores across 100 cities. The study considered factors such as customer service, food quality, prices, and checkout speed.
Ultimately, one store in Arizona stood out above the rest, earning the title of the best grocery store in the country.
Trader Joe’s in Gilbert reigns supreme
Trader Joe’s located at 1779 E Williams Field Rd in Gilbert, AZ, has earned the top spot as the best grocery store in the country according to Solitaired’s study. This store received an impressive 4.8-star rating based on 1,651 reviews at the time the study was published. Customers praise the store for its friendly staff, efficient checkout process, and high-quality products.
Yelp reviews also highlight the store’s excellent customer service and wide selection of vegan-friendly foods, such as tofu, soy dogs, and fresh produce. Many reviewers mention the clean, well-organized aisles and the pleasant shopping experience. The Gilbert Trader Joe’s also receives commendations for its consistent stock of unique and affordable items, which keep shoppers coming back.
With its stellar reputation and positive customer feedback, it’s no wonder this Trader Joe’s location has been recognized as the best in the nation.

Trader Joe’s dominated the list with 45 locations, led by the locations on E. Williams Field Rd. in Gilbert, AZ, and on 4th St. N. in St. Petersburg, FL, scoring 4.8 and 4.7 stars, respectively. Central Market on West Fwy. in Fort Worth, TX, also earned a high rating of 4.7 stars.
However, the presence of stores like Central Market and Monnettes’ Market in Toledo among the Trader Joe’s on the list indicates that smaller or less nationally recognized stores can also achieve remarkable levels of customer satisfaction.
