If they would have built a grocery 5 years ago, they might have seen 10 customers a day. Grocery opens when clientele reaches a certain population. They are not in business to throw away food. We do shop at each new grocery that opens for the first few months, cause nobody is there. Even during high season.
Up north it’s 40 minutes to a grocery, so 10 minutes here is not a big deal.
You must have lived in a great location previously to be a few minutes from any shopping, and expect the same in a new area.

Each resident has waited for the dust to settle from the building of their new neighborhood, people to move in, and a grocery to shop at. It’s been going on since we started coming here in 07.
