The Grocery Stores industry is comprised of retail stores that primarily sell food products for home consumption. These stores may also sell a variety of other items such as health and beauty products, household items, and pet supplies. Grocery stores typically offer a wide selection of fresh, frozen, and packaged food items, as well as dairy products, meats, and produce. Many stores also offer prepared foods, such as deli items, bakery items, and ready-to-eat meals. Grocery stores may be independently owned or part of a larger chain.
