For grocery shopping in Cambridge, I'd be some combination of Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and H-Mart. Yes, there are a few specialty markets and bakeries but those are almost certainly occasional things. CVS pharmacy. Maybe a hardware store if I need something routine and small. And restaurants of course. But besides buying consumables, mostly food and mostly at bigger chains, I'm not sure what all the small stores I'd be going into would be.

I remember when shopping meant visiting the butcher, bakery, fruit market, dairy. Then supermarkets were invented.
But everything that is old is new again. Now we shop at three different supermarkets! To get the best prices or quality or specialty item or whatever.
Maybe they'll invent a super-duper-market or something like that next, and we'll go back to a one-stop experience.
