I understand this. I am saying how come those rural areas can support few restaurants and at the same time no grocery store?
From investors point of view - there is X number of people that is needed for grocery store to be viable investment. And there is Y number of people needed for restaurant investment being viable. X is smaller than Y. And you talk not even about single restaurant and 0 grocery store, but about few restaurants and 0 grocery store.
That is just difficult to imagine. I mean if few restaurants are being profitable in that area it certainly means that one grocery store would be profitable as well. Very profitable... Yet nobody invests in a grocery store there for some reason
