    There's a supermarket, a huge grocery store, 3 mini marts, a liquer store, a health food store, and a natural food store within ten minutes (walking) of my camp.

    So that's 8 in a little mountain town of less than 5000 ppl.

    there are places that people live without a grocery store within ten minutes, In this day and age?! No WAY!

    I can count 10 and 2 abandoned ones, all supermarkets, 6 of them are the same store...everytime it rains, there is a new grocery store somewhere around, they keep getting nicer, and then the older ones redo everything.

    The area where I live fought to keep wal-mart out, but then they let 17 Meijers which are just the same be built...and a Target

    I can´t really understand why there are so many grocery stores...most don´t seem that crowded really.

    We are considered to be 'out in the sticks' and we have four grocery stores within the 10 minutes and six gas station / markets. [​IMG]

    Within ten minutes ..mmm dozens i guess . At least 3 medium sized supermarkets and countless grocery stores.. hordes of pointless retail outlets all serving crap morning noon and night.

    It is great, and i love it. <---------- my witty remark :&

    11, not including the specialty ones, like fruit and veggies or bakeries that also carry some basic food staples.
