15. The one local to me is pretty dumpy...and the food isn't very fresh.

I've tried shopping there several times, but end up leaving because the dairy and bread is never fresh. It's always near expiration. And they don't have many brand choices. The place is never crowded, probably because there are many alternatives within blocks, like Sprouts, Vons, Albertson's, Costco, etc. and all have fresher food and better selection.
