> Because despite what you will read about on Reddit, the owners are not cartoon characters, live in the community and care about their neighbors.

What? To the best of my knowledge, not a single grocery store chain in my area is owned by someone local to the community. The two biggest chains (that aren't Walmart) are owned by Kroger and by an international retail conglomerate. Both are publicly traded, so there's no single owner to give a shit about the local community.
