    there is a reason why big box stores charge a lot of money for food. First they have an expensive infrastructure (including logistics/supply chain), for instance Walmart has the 2nd largest data center infrastructure (the Pentagon has the largest), They have executives and legal departments that make huge salaries/bonus compensation, third they have stock holders and they need to drive up profits/cut costs as a duty to their stock holders. Independent shops, don't have all these added operational/salary costs. I say bring back more independent stores, I was sad when a lot of the local shops closed in my town (I tried to support them as much as possible).

      Big box stores also have a massive amount of consumers and purchases a day compared to small shops. They would be fine with a similar profit margin.

    That's because big grocery stores are too busy making billions of dollars in profit
