The average profit margin for grocery stores is very low, typically ranging from 1% to 3% of total sales revenue, although it can fluctuate depending on factors like sales volume and the specific products sold. These small profit margins mean that grocery stores must rely on extremely high sales volume to be successful and compensate for lower individual item profits.

Do you think the government can do better than this?

If it’s a monopoly store chain, and then the quality can be for sh!t.

Perhaps you miss the point.

Making a profit is sinful.

The managerial objective of the socialist grocery store operator is keeping expenses from exceeding 10% of revenues.
