North Carolina has the Harris Teeter or, as we liked to call it, Hairless Peter.

hehe We have both those here :D Aside from those I got nothing.
In Pennsylvania where I lived for a while there is a chain called WaWa.
We have a Quickie Mart near where I live. An Indian man runs it too. That's probably as interesting as it gets as far as grocery stores go around here.
Yours & Mines (yes, that is how the sign reads)
Hmmm, when I picture Grocery Stores, I envision larger corporate type of environments as opposed to your local convenience store. Here's how things shape up in my neck of the woods:
Publix
Winn Dixie
Albertson's
Bout it unless you want to count Target' and the Mega, Super, Multi Walmart's.
I think I win then, we've got piggly wiggly, harris teeter, and winn dixie all within a few blocks. lol
parrot's carrots is a very corny grocery store we have downtown
Food King is a local chain in central NC. I guess the name isn't so bad, except that these are the kind of places that your feet stick to the floor as you walk...
That reminds me of another one-- King Soopers in Colorado.
Wag a Bag in south Louisiana
Nice, I don't think we have one in North Louisiana.
Anyone remember Food Lion? They went under primarily, I believe, to selling bad meat.
@loupus they're still around down here
Wow, really? Do you know if it's the same chain that used to be in north Texas in the 90s? I remember them having a big food scare and all the stores I knew of closed.
my mom and uncle grew up in Clarksville, TN and they both remember a store called Sugar Booger. (no joke.)
