Only grocers in my gigantic city are Kroger, Albertsons, and Target(which basically no one uses as a pure grocer), plus boutique places like trader joes. We don't have walmart. Aldi is starting to move in, and Amazon has a couple whole foods and seems to be building more, but that's a few stores for millions of people. The vast majority of people only have Albertsons or Kroger within a reasonable distance.
- taylodl 4y agoMillions of people are being served by three grocers? The metro area for my city is just shy of two million. We have Walmart, Kroger, Meijer, Giant Eagle, Target, Aldi, Trader Joe, Whole Foods, Marc's, IGA, Sam's Club, Costco, and Saraga (which is an international supermarket with every kind of produce from around the world) - not to mention all the specialty stores like the Mexican, Mediterranean, Indian, and Asian grocers. Almost all of these stores are within 5 miles of my house - the Costco is an outlier and the IGA is 6 miles away. I wonder how our cities came to be so different - especially when it sounds like yours is a larger city yet has fewer options?
