Same wholesaler. Not the same grade.

Now for customer service, the Fareway meat department can't be beat.

Walmart has been laying off even more people lately so the six walton kids can be more than $26B each.
Too bad you are totally wrong Try thinking where the coolers and refrigeration equipment are located. If you think it is to make you walk and shop the store more, I feel sorry for you, you just don't understand how a grocery store has to be layed out.
HyVee was at the same situation back in the 60's with little manangement with degrees. Rich Jurgens, ISU grad and ..retired HyVee CEO was part of the big education push at HyVee. Dahl's never did the same as I recall.
Read again. Key words: sans Sinnwell. As in he does have a degree - in pharmacy, albeit.
I agree that you don't need a degree to run a company, and I didn't specifically express that sentiment. But at some point you need to surround yourself with educated people to keep up with the Jones's. The good ol' boys and "yes men" appointed by Sinnwell by and large don't have that education. I don't know how that can be argued against as something that drives a large corporation forward - or in this instance, into the ground.
. The vast majority of the corporate landscape, sans Sinnwell, lacks a college education - which is astonishing for a major corporation, and makes it all the more surprising that Dahl's has stuck around for so long. What's worse, .
Yes but he is drinking from the fountain of great conspirices that grocery stores do things like milk at the back of the store just to make you walk more and shop more. If anything HyVee's new mega stores do that just with their sheer size. Fareway smaller size is much more appealing to in and out and gone shopping. One truism still is true, the longer you are in the store, the more you will ultimately buy
I still vote Publics as the best grocery store in the US. Hy-Vee is alright, but Publics is the ****. Lucky for Hy-Vee they are only in the south east.

Just to set the record straight, it was Ron Pearson who started the big change (Drake grad) and it is Ric Jurgens not Rich.
I shop at dahl's about half the time because it's on the way, but all things being equal, Fareway is my favorite. Dahl's is awful. I buy poptarts as a snack in my lunch, theirs have the taste and texture of cardboard.
I stayed with some family last year in Winter Garden, FL for a few weeks and they shop primarily at Publix. I guess I'm not seeing what you see. It was OK, pretty comparable to HyVee, but I wouldn't say they were any better.
Wegmans and Central Markets are much better than Publix.
Wegmans is incredible. Imagine a hipster HyVee that is twice as large (as HyVee's largest) with a fresh food area (meat, deli, fish, bakery, etc) where you can also have them cook the food to order for you so you can just eat it there. Basically any food for sale in the store can be cooked and ate there.
