TRY TO WALK TO THE NEXT CLOSEST STORE… YOU DON’T NEED TO GET ALL THE WAY THERE

How would you get there?

For me to read the next closest grocery store I would drive over to another area a bit further out from where I live. Also I could walk to the non-grocery stores in the same plaza as my neighborhood Kroger.

Is there a sidewalk?

There is a sidewalk along the plaza and there are sidewalks that connect to the further out grocery store.

Do you go through a parking lot?

Yes, I would go through a parking lot for both locations.

How long will it take?

For the stores in the plaza it would take about a 3-5 minute walk however for the other grocery store it would be a 2 hour and 32 minute walk compared to a 16 minute drive.
