Here in Central Ohio, the choice is Kroger, Giant Eagle, or a local independent place if you are really lucky. Kroger isn't bad. They push their own brands, which are hit and miss. They are a union shop, which matters to some people. Decent selection of most things, prices are okay. Around me, they seem to be suffering from supply issues, but those tend to be short term problems. I've always found the deli , bakery, and butcher staff to be helpful and mostly friendly if you are friendly, too.
