I have a couple of small stores nearby and I don't use them at all for groceries because the selection is limited and the prices are high. I drive the 1.5 miles to the larger local store. Those stores could have different variety if more people relied on them, but they simply don't have the space to compete with the larger store. One gets by selling alcohol and convenience items, the other is really a meat counter.
