Huntsville residents have options when it comes to grocery shopping, but grocery spending data is showing which ones they favor.
Why it matters: Walmart and Publix have a firm grip on Huntsville's grocery market, representing more than half of local grocery spending in 2024.
That doesn't mean there's no more room in the market, evidenced by Food City's new store on Governors Drive that opened a few weeks ago, part of a $90-million effort announced in 2023 for the Virginia-based chain to open six stores here.
