A
grocery store is a
retail store that primarily sells
food. A
grocer is a bulk seller of
food. Grocery stores often offer non-perishable food that is packaged in cans, bottles and boxes, with some also having fresh produce, butchers, delis, and bakeries. Large grocery stores that stock significant amounts of non-food products, such as clothing and household items, are called
supermarkets. Some large supermarkets also include a
pharmacy and an electronics section.
