The DC metro spans three jurisdictions (DC, Maryland, Virginia) with different grocery scenes. Giant Food dominates DC and Maryland; Wegmans has fanatical loyalty in Northern Virginia (Fairfax, Reston, Tysons). Whole Foods is dense across the metro. Aldi has strong coverage in Maryland and northern Virginia suburbs. Trader Joe's, Harris Teeter, and Safeway also serve via Instacart. Walmart+ has spottier DC-proper coverage but works well in MD/VA suburbs.
