Where we used to live, I could walk into town and buy local meat, organic veg and a warm fresh loaf of bread and it wasn’t that much more expensive than the (3!) supermarkets in town.
Considering I didn’t need fuel, then maybe it’s cost neutral.
The main difference? Well, much better quality food and the lives of those families…
It’s really just down to our choice to drive the price (read: quality / nutrition) down to the lowest possible… or not.
So not really a store, but a specialist shop like e.g. a butchers? How is that going to replace a supermarket? I don’t think I’ve seen one of those really ever tbqh, not even in rural small towns I lived in across England like Guildford.
A local shop for local people
They probably mean some local chain or small independent store. Usually more expensive and have fewer items though.
But like - examples? Because I don’t think this is a thing at all in the UK for instance.
Yep, the small town butcher, bakery, etc.

Just sayin’…
