Walmart again reigns supreme among supermarkets in the Philadelphia metro.
Why it matters: Shoppers are on the hunt for the best deals amid sky-high food costs that are poised to keep climbing.
By the numbers: Walmart and its supercenters ate up 16.4% of the region's market share in 2024, per new data from Chain Store Guide.
- Albertsons' Acme stores, despite their troubles in recent years, were a close second with 15% of market share.
- That was followed by Giant and its Martin's stores (12.8%), Costco (5.9%) and Wegmans (5.7%).
Flashback: Walmart's big-box stores maintained the top supermarket spot for at least a third straight year.
Context: The region we're talking about includes Philly and its Pennsylvania burbs, and parts of New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.
Zoom in: Among the top 10 grocers in the region, Acme has the most locations (80), followed by Giant (64) and Target (46).
Meanwhile, Walmart has 45 locations in the metro.
