Consumer Magazine Gives Military Commissaries High Marks

Defense Department commissaries continue to rank highly on a Consumer Reports survey of the country's best supermarkets, on par with stores such as national wholesaler Costco and regional groceries Publix and Fareway. A survey of 75,000 readers of the consumer magazine ranked Defense Commissary Agency stores in the top 10% of 96 grocery chains. DeCA stores received a score of 86, up a point from a similar 2017 survey. Retail outlets are judged on cleanliness, prices, prepared food options, checkout speed, helpfulness of employees, and the quality and selection of goods.
