There are many mom and pop grocery stores. Their prices are higher because of two things, they try to carry local produce and they don’t have the advantage of scale.
As noted elsewhere, the grocery business is one of very low margins. These aren’t the people the admin thinks is gouging people. They are not causing inflation. The monetary policy, price of money and the price of energy are driving inflation.
