A grocery store, often known as a grocery or grocery shop, is a store that sells a wide variety of food products, both fresh and packaged. These are referred to as kirana shops in India. The 12 million tiny grocery stores known as kirana or mom-and-pop shops account for 90% of India's $810 billion food and grocery sector. Small grocery or kirana stores are often owned and run on a small scale. The grocery store should be located near a public transportation stop so that people may easily access it. Over the last ten years, the retail market in India has experienced significant growth and transformation. The overall market size of the Indian retail market was $275.8 bn in 2008-09 and has grown to $700 bn as of 2019.
