The importance of fresh products in consumers’ diets, along with buying habits, keep shoppers returning to stores to restock their shelves and fridges. Despite the increasing competition from online grocery retailers, grocery shopping in a physical store is still important to Americans. Online influences Within the U.S., consumers have a number of choices when it comes to how they choose to do their weekly or bi-weekly food shop. Whilst most Americans still choose to visit brick-and-mortar stores, online grocery shopping is becoming undoubtedly more popular. To keep up with such trends, some grocery stores offer click and collect or grocery delivery service. This reduces the number of in-store visits consumers make when buying groceries. Generational preferences Online shopping comes as second nature to younger consumers. Therefore, it is no surprise that Millennials account for the highest spending share of digital grocery orders and delivery services in the United States.. Generation X are not far behind Millennials when it comes to share of spending. This is an important demographic for online grocery retailers to target, as Generation X are the generation spending the most on average on groceries per month.

This dataset was originally created in 2012 by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer. OCTO staff used the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration’s (ABCA) definition of Full-Service Grocery Stores which outlines criteria for a business to obtain licenses to sell beer, wine, and spirits. Visit abca.dc.gov for full definition.OCTO staff then reviewed the Office of Planning DC Food Policy’s 2018 Food System Assessment listing grocery stores in Appendix D, and comparing these to the ABCA definition. This led to additional locations that meet, or come very close to, the full-service grocery store criteria. The criteria in section one of ABCA’s full-service grocery store determined the initial locations included in this dataset. View the full assessment at dcfoodpolicycouncil.org.Since the initial creation of this dataset, OCTO and the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) staff confirm grocery store operations by comparing datasets from DLCP, media outlets, commercially licensed datasets, and onsite visits.Please review supplemental metadata for more details.

Supermarkets and grocery stores have significantly transformed in recent years, driven by technological advancements and shifting consumer preferences. E-commerce has become a cornerstone of the industry, with over 70.0% of grocery retailers integrating online ordering and fulfillment into their operations in 2025. This shift has been fueled by consumer demand for convenience and efficient shopping experiences, prompting retailers to invest heavily in curbside pickup and home delivery services. Major players like Kroger have leveraged these innovations to maintain a competitive edge, while third-party delivery platforms like Instacart have enabled smaller grocers to compete with larger chains. The adoption of "dark stores" and AI-driven technologies has further optimized operations but heightened competition has limited revenue expansion. Over the past five years, revenue has been slipping at a CAGR of 0.1%, reversing course in 2025 to climb 1.1%, reaching $883.1 million. Over the past five years, the industry has faced rising labor costs and competition from discount grocers and private-label products. Automation has played a crucial role in managing these pressures, with more than 50.0% of transactions in major chains processed through self-checkout systems in 2025. Despite these advancements, wages have continued to rise, accounting for an estimated 10.7% of revenue. This has led retailers to focus on strategic pricing and the promotion of high-margin private-label products to sustain profit. The proliferation of discount grocers like Aldi and Lidl has intensified competition, forcing traditional supermarkets to innovate and adapt to retain market share. Looking ahead, supermarkets and grocery stores are likely to endure steady but marginal revenue growth over the next five years, influenced by economic and demographic factors. Increases in per capita disposable income and consumer spending suggest a stable economic environment that could bolster sales of premium and specialty grocery items. However, declines in the agricultural price index may pressure revenue growth, as lower prices could reduce sales value. Urban population growth will continue to drive demand for grocery products, encouraging retailers to adopt urban-centric strategies. Upcoming FDA regulations on product labeling and ongoing geopolitical tensions will present challenges and opportunities for the industry. Retailers that can navigate these complexities and align with evolving consumer preferences, such as the rise of functional foods and the "quiet luxury" trend, will be well-positioned to thrive in a rapidly changing market landscape. Revenue is anticipated to expand marginally over the next five years at a CAGR of less than 0.1%, totaling $883.3 million in 2030.
