My father used to run the grocery store in town. My brother ran it for a bit, too. I don't know the ultimate reasons it ahut down, but Dad wanted to retire and brother decided it wasn't worth it to run.

There's a dollar store in town, and an another 5 min north, and another 10 mi. south, but no produce at any.

I want to move back to a more urban area and be able to walk to a grocery store in 15 minutes, but Dad needs someone to live with him since he is now disabled. (Brother died.)

I remember there was a problem getting wholesale deliveries at the small scale needed to serve this town of barely 300 people.
