grocery chains
Grocery chains are large retail stores or networks of stores that sell food and everyday household items. They operate under a common brand and often share resources, purchasing power, and branding strategies to offer a consistent shopping experience across locations. Different chains may target certain markets with specialized selections, prices, or store formats. Examples include national brands like Walmart and Kroger, or regional chains serving specific communities. They play a crucial role in supply chains, providing convenient access to a wide variety of products, often with options for in-store shopping, online ordering, and delivery.
