The small format grocery store wars are just beginning. Safeway is testing smaller stores in the Bay Area and Wal-Mart is also testing small format grocery stores.
Aldi's already has many small format grocery stores in Central US, as well as their Trader Joe's stores.
Tesco is going to open a warehouse in Stockton to serve the Northern California/Reno region. Look for more news of openings in the near future.
