Trader Joe's is no longer America's favorite grocery store.

Wegmans tops Market Force’s 2016 list of America’s Favorite Grocery Retailers.

Market Force, a brand strategy firm, gave the Rochester, New York-based Wegmans a score of 76 percent in its Composite Loyalty Index. Wegmans edged out southern supermarket chain Publix and nationwide grocer Trader Joe’s.

Market Force asked customers to “to rate their satisfaction with their most recent grocery shopping experience and their likelihood to refer that grocer to others.” Wegmans topped the list after not gaining enough votes to make the list last year, said Market Force.

As part of the study, Market Force also looked at six categories, including cashier courtesy, cleanliness, checkout speed and item availability. Wegmans placed in the Top 3 of all categories expect for Cashier Courtesy, where it placed fifth.

Wegmans has 89 stores in six states. Cheryl Fink of Market Force told CNBC Wegmans stands out from other chains because of its specialty items and brands and quick cash out experience. 

Wegmans did not respond to a request for comment. 

A brazen bandit followed a resident into a storage facility at an Old City condominium complex last week and stole several items from storage bins, police said.

Police on Thursday released surveillance video of the burglary, which happened Thursday, April 7 just after 6 p.m., in hopes that the public will be able to help them solve the crime.

In the video, the man, whom police described as being in his 40s, having facial hair and wearing a dark hat, dark jacket, jeans and brown boots, is seen sneaking in through a door to the storage facility near 3rd and Race streets and then leaving with his arms full of several items. One of the items he has appears to be a Casio keyboard.

Police said the man broke into more than one storage bin. After the burglary, he fled in an unknown direction.

Anyone who recognizes the man or has information in the burglary should contact Central Detectives at 215-686-3093 or 3094, or text a tip to PPD TIP (773847).

A man who pleaded guilty to participating in a 2014 carjacking that set off a devastating string of events leading to the deaths of a young mom and three of her children will spend 45 to 90 years in prison for his crimes, a judge ruled on Thursday.

Jonathan Rosa spent his 21st birthday in court learning that he'll spend at least the next four decades behind bars for his role in the July 25, 2014 carjacking and crash that killed Keisha Williams, 34, and her children, 15-year-old Keiearra, 10-year-old Joseph and 7-year-old Terrance. Rosa pleaded guilty to four counts of third-degree murder, robbery, aggravated assault, conspiracy and involuntary deviate sexual intercourse in January.

The deadly saga unfolded on that hot July afternoon when Rosa and his co-defendant, Cornelius Crawford, decided to carjack a realtor at 6th and Cumberland streets. Prosecutors said Rosa sexually assaulted the realtor in her Toyota 4Runner as it sped through North Philadelphia. Williams, her children and a neighbor, Thelma Brown, were setting up a stand to sell fruit at Germantown and Allegheny avenues when the SUV plowed through the intersection, jumped a curb and struck the group on the grass lot where they stood.

Brown, who is in her 70s, survived. Williams and her children, however, died from their injuries.

Crawford negotiated a guilty plea to four counts of third-degree murder, robbery, aggravated assault and attempted involuntary deviate sexual intercourse in March. He was sentenced to 12½ to 25 years in prison.

Brown and Williams' two surviving sisters spoke with NBC10 over the summer, a year after the carjacking and crash. One of Williams' sisters has taken in her two surviving children, who were not at the fruit stand that day.

Brown, who has suffered numerous health problems since she was badly injured in the crash, said she faced the admitted carjackers at their preliminary hearing, but that she doesn't wish physical harm on them the way many in her neighborhood and the city did in the wake of the crime that ended in tragedy.

"The only thing I can say to them is God will judge you," Brown said. "I don't want nobody to do nothing to them, nothing at all, because I want them to live with what they did and with their regrets."

American Airlines said that a record number of flight passengers and staffing problems have contributed to checkpoint lines long enough to cause people to miss flights, and Philadelphia International Airport topped the list as one of the worst offenders.

During this year's spring break, nearly 6,800 passengers missed flights across the United States because of TSA checkpoint delays. Philadelphia International, Seattle-Tacoma International, Los Angeles International and Miami International airports were all among the places with the worst delays and the most missed flights, an American Airlines spokesperson told NBC News.

The TSA has admitted that it underestimated a surge in passengers and the impact of budget cuts, leading to the long lines. The administration is now hiring up to 200 new workers each week to try to make up the gap and correct the problem. NBC News, however, reported that American Airlines officials warned passengers that they expect delays to worsen as more people travel over the summer months.

"The lines at TSA checkpoints nationwide have become unacceptable," American spokesman Ross Feinstein said in a statement.

A crash shut down a stretch of I-95 in Northeast Philadelphia late Thursday morning.

Authorities said at least two cars were involved in the crash, which happened in the southbound lanes below the Academy Road exit shortly before 11 a.m. The highway was shut down south of Academy Road as firefighters and other crews worked to help the injured and clear the crash.

SkyForce10 footage showed one car crashed into a construction sign on the highway and another flipped onto its side.

At least two people were injured, officials said. The extent of their injuries was unknown Thursday morning.

The highway reopened shortly after 11 a.m.

Coinciding protests in North Philadelphia and Center City marking what demonstrators are calling the "Day of Rage" snarled rush-hour traffic on Thursday.

The protests were led by two separate groups but joined together in solidarity.

In the first, Temple University students and faculty walked out at about 2 p.m. to join neighborhood residents for a 3 p.m. demonstration against the football stadium the university wants to build in North Philadelphia. The demonstration will begin at Broad Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue, according to a news release from organizing group Stadium Stompers, and protesters then joined a larger march “against displacement and low wages, standing in solidarity with fast-food workers, healthcare workers.”

The protesters then to marched south on Broad Street to Temple University’s campus through lower North Philadelphia into Center City, with an action set to take place at Arch Street at 5 p.m., according to the news release.

A coinciding rally and protest, which organizers refer to as a "Day of Rage," eventually combined with the protest beginning at Temple kicked off at about 4 p.m. at Broad Street and Girard Avenue, according to a news release from the Philly Coalition for REAL Justice, the organizer of that demonstration. That rally was planned as the one-year anniversary of Freddie Gray’s death and the ensuing mass protests in Baltimore approaches, organizers said. Participants plan to rally against “police terrorism of black communities, Mayor Kenney’s broken promise to end ‘Stop and Frisk’ and Temple University’s proposed $126 million stadium in North Philly,” according to the news release.

"The problems of gentrification, displacement, and police terrorism are bigger than just a handful of racist politicians and cops. The problem is the lack of power Black people have over their lives and communities," the news release read in part.

Protesters then moved south on Broad Street toward City Hall.

The demonstrations took place during rush-hour traffic, causing some headaches for commuters, but Philadelphia police worked to open roads as protesters moved south.

An 83-year-old woman died after she was shot in the chest inside a Philadelphia home Thursday afternoon, police said.

Officers were called to the house, on Cosgrove Street near Ross in East Germantown, just before 1 p.m., police said. Inside, they found the woman suffering from two gunshot wounds to her chest, according to preliminary police information.

Medics took the woman to Albert Einstein Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 1:22 p.m.

The circumstances surrounding the shooting were not immediately known, but police said they found a gun inside the house where she was shot.

Police are continuing to investigate.

Fifteen suspected gang members have been charged for terrorizing a North Philadelphia neighborhood with gunfire and perpetuating street violence in what the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office called an "ongoing feud and gun battle."

D.A. Seth Williams on Thursday announced the charges against the men, which stemmed from incidents including nine shootings, one of which was deadly, in a four-month span between February and June of 2014. Williams said the arrests were a result of a lengthy investigation conducted by his office and the Attorney General's joint Gun Violence Task Force and an investigating grand jury.

Williams said the men, who he said identify as members of a gang known as "TNT" -- for 10th and Thompson streets in North Philadelphia -- "terrorized citizens of North Philadelphia's neighborhoods, literally having gun battles right outside their front doors, for months."

The incidents the gang members' charges stem from, the D.A. says, include:

• A Feb. 15, 2014 shooting outside One Tre Bar at 13th and Cambria streets

• Two shootings within a block of each other on Feb. 19, 2015 on Park Avenue near Lehigh Avenue and Somerset Street, during one of which at least 26 shots were fired from three different guns

• A Feb. 27, 2014 shooting at Ridge Avenue and 18th Street in which eight shots were fired from two different guns

• A March 1, 2014 shooting at 9th and Thompson streets in which at least 24 shots were fired from four different guns

[[375750461, R, 299, 334]]

• A March 6, 2014 shooting on 13th Street near Cambria in which at least 33 shots were fired from four different guns

• A shooting on Stiles Street near 11th and a firearm-possession arrest related to the same incident March 20, 2014

• A shooting at 13th and Cambria streets May 27, 2014 in which at least 14 shots were fired

• A gun homicide outside the Galaxy Bar at Germantown and Rising Sun avenues on June 22, 2014

A number of gun-possession arrests -- some of which led to investigators finding guns that matched ballistics from the shootings -- also played a role in the investigation, the D.A.'s office said.

Rashad Holcomb, 27, is facing the most serious list of charges, including murder, conspiracy, illegal gun possession and possession of an instrument of crime. Also charged with murder and conspiracy are 26-year-old Curshawn Banks and 34-year-old Evette Brooks.

Charged with attempted murder, criminal conspiracy, aggravated assault, illegal gun possession and possession of an instrument of crime is 26-year-old Maurice Muldrow.

Both Christopher McClutchen, 23, and Hamin Williams Jr., 19, are charged with criminal conspiracy and illegal gun possession, while Samir Akines, 31, Amir Crippen, 21, Kareem Grant, 25, Rashad Hall, 21, Vincent McClenney, 28, Gregory Nash, 27, Tyreese Scott, 28, Ali Williams, 29, and Hamin Williams Sr., 37, are all charged with criminal conspiracy.

The D.A.'s office credited the gang members' self-identification via tattoos, clothing and their social media accounts with helping them close in on the group.

One of the tweets, released by prosecutors, reads: "We both was down homicide we ain't say a word! #NoTelling #Militant."

Four soldiers were hurt Thursday afternoon when a U.S. Army Reserve Humvee overturned on a New Jersey highway, state police said.

The military vehicle was traveling south on the New Jersey Turnpike when it flipped near mile marker 75 in East Brunswick.

Witnesses said they saw the right tire flip off the Humvee, causing it to flip over. Officials haven't confirmed that's what caused the crash, but photos at the scene corroborate the missing tire.

An Army spokesman says the soldiers were traveling from their 533rd Brigade support battalion base at Fort Totten in Bayside, Queens. 

A woman and a man were critically injured, one man was in serious condition and the condition of the fourth person was unknown, according to state police, who initially said six people were injured. 

At least one of the injured soldiers needed to be airlifted to Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center about 10 miles north, state police said.

A witness said the female soldier's leg had to be amputated at the scene as emergency responders worked to remove the soldiers. 

State police spokesman Lawrence Peele only said the woman has a severe leg injury.

Another witness snapped a photo of a fellow comrade traveling in another military vehicle trying to help a trapped reservist. Soldiers used a jack to lift the Humvee off the trapped passengers.

Chopper 4 footage from the scene shows a crumpled military vehicle on the shoulder of the six-lane roadway. Traffic was stopped on the southbound lanes as authorities responded. Roads were reopened after medical personnel cleared the scene. 

Clear sunny skies and warm weather are in the forecast for this Sunday, April 17th. After a long, cold winter why not take advantage of such a beautiful spring day?

A jury found Israel James guilty on all charges for sexually abusing a 17-year old girl while she was asleep on Thursday.

Prosecutors say the assault took place September of last year, inside the victim's bedroom in Upper Darby. 

When officers responded to a 911 call, they found the victim outside in the street crying. She stated she was assaulted by James, who is a relative.

The victim told police she woke up to find James laying beside her in his underwear, touching her inapropriately. She told police that when she tried to run away he grabbed her and tried to prevent her from leaving the room, but she was able to break free and get away.

The teen was able to identify James for police and he was arrested and charged.

No sentencing date was set.

An unsuspecting Chick-fil-A employee received a special gift from some of his adoring customers Thursday morning.

George Holston has been an employee at the Downingtown restaurant for nearly 8 years. He is known among customers for his warm welcomes, bubbly personality and conversations with the kids.

“It’s the best job I’ve ever had. I look forward to coming in here,” George told NBC10.

Last Friday, Jennifer Fischer of Coatesville had lunch at Chick-fil-A with her son when she struck up a conversation with George.

Fischer noticed George’s foot was in a special shoe that was falling apart. “I asked him about his foot and he had mentioned he had diabetes, but couldn't afford the diabetic shoes. It cost him $200,” recalled Fischer.

That afternoon Fischer put out a message to fellow moms in the ‘Mom Advice’ Facebook group, consisting of over 4,000 moms mostly in Chester County. She asked if anyone wanted to help raise the $200 to buy George the special shoes.

"The money started pouring in, lots of compliments about George and how much he has made an impact on people’s lives. It was just overflowing. We ended up raising $1800 for him," Fischer told NBC10.

Chick-fil-A helped collaborate with Fischer to surprise George.

She, along with the Chick-fil-A cow, many other moms from the group and their children surprised George Thursday morning with $1800 and hand written cards and pictures drawn by their children.

“I'm speechless. I'm really speechless. I never expected anything like this. I’m thankful from the bottom of my heart," George was overcome with joy when receiving the gift. 

“His heart for people is amazing. So it's nice to see someone like him who constantly gives to get something in return for all of the love he puts out," said Jackie Houck, another Chester County mom who knows George personally.
