Location, location, location. It isn't just for real estate, Excluding Wal-Marts and Super Targets, there are 9 of all types in two cities. I would have to travel two or more hours in-state or 90 minutes and more out of state to find twelve of all types of grocery stores. But I like where I am, even if there aren't very many grocery store. I missed Ralph's for decades. Recently, I found one-- one!-- within two hours of home. There are other stores within the Kroger family scattered about.
My garden in England is full of eating-out places, for heat waves, warm September evenings, or lunch on a chilly Christmas morning. (Mary Quant)
