Most people have a grocery store within 5 minutes, sure - but with 10,000 products? I've been living in London for the summer and if I were here any longer I'd be using a supermarket's delivery service. Sure I can find stores nearby but nothing like a tesco extra. And when the shop shrinks the things that go are the value items - and I end up paying twice as much for something that tastes the same and has a different label.
I could easily save the £5 delivery charge or whatever by having access to them thousands of items.
- josephschmoe 12y agoAmerican grocery stores do. Walmart grocery stores could fit a small town downtown in them. I see your point though. It's interesting to be informed of all of these different needs I had not previously considered.
- mcintyre1994 12y agoI mean we have lots of large stores.. but I wouldn't say everyone has one within 5 minutes. How many of these town-sized stores are there in a city out of interest?
- ensignavenger 12y agoDepends on where you are. Springfield, MO for example has 5 Walmart Supercenters and 4 Walmart Neighborhood Markets. They also have at least one Hy-vee (They were planning on building at least one more, but I don't think it is completed yet). And that is just two companies with large stores. The town has several local and regional grocery store chains- and Dilons (Kroger). Many of these store do offer delivery service, too. This all in a city that is less than 10 miles from one side to the other (160,000 population). EDIT: I forgot- there are also 2 Sam's Clubs.
