This very thing happened in the town I grew up in. Dollar General moved in and no more than five years later the local grocery store, which had been there since the 60's, closed down. Pretty sad really. Now residents have to drive 20mims to the next town over to get fresh fruit/veggies/meats. I'm honestly glad I moved away to a bigger city.
Not sure if this is just a unique experience for me but I've always grown up needing like at least 15 minutes to do a grocery shopping trip. In college it would take 30 minutes to bus to the grocery store. Maybe my experience is rare? I just consider trips that take 30 minutes or less to the grocery store not that bad especially since you only need to do it once or twice a week.
