It is a big supermarket thing moreso than a city thing. It’s a big part of the Whole Foods strategy, and an increasing part of Safeway/Ralph’s/etc. They have an increasing amount of hot food that you can take away. Walmart in the “country” didn’t, I don’t know if that’s a Walmart thing or a country thing (they did have a subway in-store).

Yeah, large supermarkets tend to have salad bars, suburban or urban. Wal-Mart has grocery items, but you're not going to find a salad bar at one. Same goes for Target. You're also not going to find a salad bar at a Trader Joe's or an Aldi's.

But your typical large-format grocery store will have one. It's hard to talk chains and be comprehensive because American supermarket chains are not national. But whatever your market's equivalent of Wegmans/Publix/Kroger/HEB/Meijer/Albertsons/Hy-Vee should have one.

There are, it should be noted, places in the US where there are not readily-available supermarkets. But those tend to be urban and rural, not suburban:
