I mean we have lots of large stores.. but I wouldn't say everyone has one within 5 minutes. How many of these town-sized stores are there in a city out of interest?

Depends on where you are. Springfield, MO for example has 5 Walmart Supercenters and 4 Walmart Neighborhood Markets. They also have at least one Hy-vee (They were planning on building at least one more, but I don't think it is completed yet). And that is just two companies with large stores. The town has several local and regional grocery store chains- and Dilons (Kroger). Many of these store do offer delivery service, too.
This all in a city that is less than 10 miles from one side to the other (160,000 population).
EDIT: I forgot- there are also 2 Sam's Clubs.
