A Texas-based supermarket has once again been named America’s most-popular grocer, surpassing more widely-recognized brands such as Trader Joe’s and Costco, according to Dunnhumby’s annual ranking of popular grocery stores.

H-E-B, a chain of supermarkets based in San Antonio, has been named the country’s top grocery store for the fifth time in nine years. This year also marks the ninth annual Dunnhumby supermarket ranking, meaning H-E-B has been named the top grocer more times than any other chain.
