MALVERN, PA — Malvern's own Acme Markets is the favorite grocery store in two states, but not Pennsylvania.

The website drummed up the list by finding the five grocery stores in each state with the highest number of favorable Yelp reviews and also used Google Trends to find which had the highest search volume between Jan. 21, 2021 and Jan. 20, 2022.
