Harps Food Stores named third best supermarket in U.S.

SPRINGDALE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Harps Meals Shops, headquartered in Springdale, Ark., was named the number a few place in the U.S. for most effective supermarkets from Newsweek’s 2022 “America’s Very best Retailers” list.

Wegmans ranked to start with in the grocery store category with a score of 92.25, adopted in the major five by Publix at 91.67, Harps at 89.62, Sprouts Farmers Sector at 88.38 and Whole Meals Market place at 87.6.

The ranking arrives from a survey of much more than 10,000 U.S. people who have shopped in-man or woman inside retail suppliers in the previous a few many years. The checklist ranks companies according to five conditions: solutions, buyer services, ambiance, accessibility and store layout, as properly as the probability of respondents to advise a retailer to pals and family.

Overall, more than 150,000 evaluations were collected on merchants in 39 groups. The leading 3 to 10 merchants (dependent on class dimension) obtaining the greatest scores in just about every group were being recognized as America’s Greatest Retailers for 2022.

“I was so excited to see this rating,” explained Kim Eskew, Chairman and CEO, “our outlets are fully owned by the workers, and I believe that demonstrates in our purchaser evaluations. You really are dealing with an operator at every of our areas. This honor is exceptionally distinctive simply because it is only primarily based on what our clients imagine and experience and not what someone else in the enterprise thinks about our chain.”

Harps is an staff-owned retail grocery chain operating 134 shops in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
