As often reminded, that’s probably a zoning issue.
Here on a different continent I live in an area BESIEGED by supermarkets, but I buy most of my groceries at the baker (breadmaker) and fruit-and-vegetables shop down the street. They’re more expensive but more convenient and higher quality.
With the advantage of there not being a butcher as close-by, meaning I’ve been eating way more veggies since moving (and eggs, given those are sold in both stores).
Now the issue is they’re opening a new pedestrian path that leads straight from my home to the pastry shop on the neighboring block!
