Grocery stores come in all shapes, sizes, and styles. In 2024, several unique formats opened for the first time, and at least one reopened. Ethnic grocery stores saw a surge. Save A Lot partnered with Leevers Supermarkets to launch a Hispanic grocery store called Ahorra Mucho, while Kroger announced plans to test “Asian Experience” stores in North Texas. Canadian grocer Loblaw introduced its Asian-format store, T&T Supermarket, in Washington. Convenience and low-cost grocery stores also gained traction.

Whole Foods also opened several smaller footprint stores.
