Part of it is that our corner stores aren't allowed to sell beer, which is how most (legit) bodegas make a *lot* of their money.

Good point. Several people have mentioned this and it would definitely ignite the interest from an owner perspective. It’d be great if PA could move beyond prohibition laws. Grocery business is time consuming no matter how big or small so it’d be great if high margins could support somehow. I think this is what we’ve seen with some of the GetGo Neighborhood markets. Granted I’m assuming if they made enough money for the company, we’d be seeing these everywhere by now
