grocery stores

Where provisions abound

Grocery stores are retail establishments that sell food and household supplies.

They range from small neighborhood markets to massive supermarkets with dozens of aisles.

The term distinguishes these shops from specialty food retailers like butchers or bakeries, though modern grocery stores typically incorporate such departments under one roof.

I need to stop by the grocery store on my way home.

Americans may shorten this to simply the grocery or groceries: I'm going to the grocery.
