Grocery Stores
Grocery stores are found everywhere, although the size of the
establishment and the range of goods and services offered vary.
Traditionally, inner-city stores are small and offer a limited selection,
although larger stores, including specialty grocers and a few
supercenters, are now being built in many urban areas; suburban
stores are predominantly large supermarkets and supercenters with a
more diverse stock. Most supermarkets include several specialty
departments that offer the products and services of seafood stores,
bakeries, delicatessens, pharmacies, or florist shops. Household
goods, health and beauty care items, automotive supplies, pet
products, greeting cards, and clothing also are among the nonfood
items that can be found at large supermarkets. Some of the largest
supermarkets, including wholesale clubs, even have cafeterias or
food courts, and a few feature convenience stores, automotive
services, and full-service banks. In addition, most grocery stores may
offer basic banking services and automatic teller machines, postal
services, onsite film processing, drycleaning, video rentals, and
catering services.
