Texas’ favorite grocery store is now the top grocery store in the country.

For the first time, H-E-B was rated as the number one grocery store after a nationwide study, beating Trader Joe’s.

According to consumer data science company Dunnhumby, the study surveyed 7,000 U.S. households in order to find out which of the top 60 largest stores have the “strongest combination of financial performance and consumer emotional sentiment.”

The overall ranking was decided on an evaluation of the store’s performance on seven pillars:  price, quality, digital, operations, convenience, discounts/rewards, and speed. Last year, H-E-B was ranked fourth behind Trader Joe’s, Amazon and Costco.
