Our town has two big chain supermarkets and one independent. The little guy
is located near senior housing and an older section of town with generally
older residents also. He does cater to the small household. You can buy a
package with only two pork chops to two chicken parts. Even had butter in
half pound packages. Not a place that I'd do my weekly shopping, but very
handy when you just need a quick item for tonight's dinner.
