    Unless you’re counting shit like Dollar General, not even close to that many in the U.S.

    I don’t even know how they would survive with that low number of customers. Why would you even need 20?

      That person is probably thinking of European size stores. I think grocery stores in the US might just be bigger on average than they are in Sweden? We have some big mega stores here compared to Europe.

        yeah ours are oftentime closer to convenience stores, and distributed fairly evenly so people largely just go to the closest one. Stuff like walmart is terrifyingly big, that’s what i’d consider an entire mall.
