grocery store
Where provisions abound
A grocery store is a retail shop that sells food and household items.
The term distinguishes these stores from specialty shops like butchers or bakeries by emphasizing their broad selection: I need to stop at the grocery store for milk and eggs.
In American usage, grocery store and supermarket overlap, though supermarket suggests a larger format with more departments.
