Grumbel’s should honestly take a gamble at this point and add a grocery department. Even if it’s not a full grocery store, it may be enough for people nearby to make it a “one stop shop.”
I wouldn’t advise it, because you know that customers are going to decide that they don’t want that package of uncooked fish and ditch it behind the cereal. Then when store personnel figure out where that stench is coming from, all of that product will have to be written off, a big loss.
Things I’ve seen left on shelves in the grocery store that should have stayed in the freezer/fridge section:
Fish, meat, jugs of milk (found on top of the chips), frozen pizzas, cheese, and three pounds of chicken thighs hidden behind the cans of chili.
Things I’ve seen that’ll ruin your view of humanity:
People peeing in the fruit, drunks vomiting in the freezers, someone shit in one of the aisles and ran their cart through it, a mother ignoring her child until said child peed in my register lane, and teenagers doing the “gallon smash.”
Things that restored my faith in humanity:
*crickets chirping*

That’s a whole new field to break into with existing competitors and very low margins.
