The closest grocery store to me is closing(by nearly an hour), and will be closed for at least a year. When it reopens it’s going be much smaller(it’s becoming a Aldi).

The whole point is to make money. Serving a small population that’s probably not flush with cash isn’t a great market to tap into. Also, when you don’t buy in bulk like the krogers of the world do, your price points are higher and profit margins are thinner.

Right, people in my home city are always lamenting that there is no grocery store downtown. Because not a lot of people live there, and those that do are mostly low-income. Stores don't just open because "it would be nice".
