RE: What do you prefer for your Shopping ?
I didn't realize this thread was still going---so, back-tracking a bit: I grew up in a very small town where there were small owner-operated grocery stores, called 'groceratia' or 'superette'. Now, they were all we had for the longest time, then a Safeway came in. I now live in a larger but still 'small' town, and we do have a few neighborhood grocery stores (no, not 7-11, Plaid Pantry types.....) that are owner-operated. But their over-all prices are much higher than say, Fred Meyer (Kroger, in some states) however, they attract a crowd because they often have cigarettes, beer, and wine for lower prices, and you can easily play lotto, etc...I shop in them occasionally, but tend to mostly go to Freddies, as we call it. The little stores survive because of convenience--they are usually strategically placed where folks seem to want them. Also, some have a single gas pump, another convenience.
