In the US, small grocery stores are called convenience stores. Almost all small towns have one or more of these within a kilometer of most people in that town.

In the US, small grocery stores are called convenience stores. Almost all small towns have one or more of these within a kilometer of most people in that town. Now you aren’t gonna find fancy organic produce at these stores, but the quality of food in the US is probably not generally as good as what you have in Europe.
Anyway, comparing a small country like Belgium (approximately the size of the state of Maryland) to a huge vast country like the United States is not a valid comparison.
- dmonitor 2y ago> Almost all small towns have one or more of these within a kilometer of most people in that town I find this hard to believe based on my lived experience in the southeast US. Where I live, there are stores a moderate walk away (still over a km) that are completely unreachable from where people live because they require crossing 4-6 lanes of traffic with no crosswalk or pedestrian route. > Anyway, comparing a small country like Belgium (approximately the size of the state of Maryland) to a huge vast country like the United States is not a valid comparison. This is a valid point.
