Supermarkets and Grocers

The first photo is taken of the Atlanta Farmer's Market.  This building is very much in the tradition of the markets that were built in the 1950s.  The front of the building is entirely walled with glass windows and posted on them are various signs commenting on sales occurring within the store.  It is located in a shopping center with other retail stores.  Inside it is like any other mass grocery store with aisles of various products and a number of checkout lines at the store's front.

Next, is a photo of a small grocer that specializes in hispanic foods.  It is located off Buford Highway and is incredibly small.  Unlike the Farmer's Market or any of the other larger

 markets, it is very intimate.  There was no more than three people working inside.  The foods were also unlike anything that would normally be purchased.  The parking lot outside was also very small and the building itself looked as though it had been used many different times for varying purposes.

Finally, the last photo was taken merely to emphasis the fact that often times a grocery store or convenient store will be used as a shopping center's "anchor."  This Aldi store is the only business open in this newly built shopping center.  It is located on one end of the complex with all the other, much smaller spaces, yet to have occupants.  Although the store does not classify as a market, per se, it does show how developments work in their early stages; that is build a major convenient store to anchor the complex and it's future inhabitants.
