Grocery

Grocery is a store or shop where food and other items for the household are sold. Groceries can range from small corner shops to large supermarkets and online stores. The term "grocery" can also refer to the items sold in these stores.

History

The concept of the grocery store has evolved over time, from small general stores in the 19th century to the large supermarkets and online grocery stores of today. The first self-service grocery store, Piggly Wiggly, was opened in 1916 in Memphis, Tennessee by Clarence Saunders.
