When cities are walkable, grocery stores are nearby too. I live in a small town in the American midwest, considered very walkable, lots of bike lanes, etc. We don't have smaller retail stores within walking distance. Instead we have big-box grocery stores like everywhere else. We _used_ to have those but in the late 50s they were zoned out of existence.
