A grocery store is a store established primarily for the retailing of food. A grocer,
the owner of a grocery store, stocks different kinds of foods from assorted
places and cultures, and sells them to customers. Large grocery stores that stock
products other than food, such as clothing or household items, are called
supermarkets. Small grocery stores that mainly sell fruits and vegetables are known
as produce markets (U.S) or greengrocers (Britain), and small grocery stores
that predominantly sell snack foods and sandwiches are known as convenience
stores or delicatessens. |
