I would suggest the trend here will be....month after...each grocery will determine they can’t profit, and shut down. At the same time, the city will likely provide bus service from ‘loot-centre’ to the nearest still-operating grocery. That operation will endear a year of bad profits, and close down. No matter what direction you go....the city will have to service the ‘loot-crowd’ and expand the shutdown rate.
Even if you have a neighborhood grocery that is 15 miles from the affected zone today....within 3 years, your area will be affected as the looters expand their control.

Our annual membership fee is $55. If you shoplift, the underlying membership will be cancelled.
Years ago I took an economics extension class taught by an African man who had a doctorate..the class studied co ops and grocery stores, and determined prices were higher in ghetto areas than the suburbs, attributed to more crime so the poorer people had to pay more for food unless they went out of the ghetto to suburbs to shop.
The professor explained he had two choices in Africa, to work in the diamond mines for little pay or try and smuggle out diamonds to sell or go to school..he chose the latter. He had real contempt for American blacks who he felt had all the opportunity in the world and most did not take advantage of it.
