Buying a grocery or specialty food store?

Independent grocers, ethnic food markets, butcher shops, and gourmet retailers serving communities and tastes that larger chains overlook. Loyal customers and differentiated selection insulate these stores from big-box competition, and succession gaps in family ownership keep stores changing hands; margins reward operators who manage perishables well.
