That’s strong billing for a grocery store, I know. Most of them honestly have a pretty low bar when it comes to changing things up and innovating, probably because most of us hate it when they change things up – but also because they know we need groceries and our options aren’t endless, so why bother?

These 13 grocery stores aren’t taking that attitude, though, and honestly some of these ideas could make the whole world a better place.
