What's the difference between the name definitions of a market, a food store and a grocery store?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) September 5th, 2010

A Piggly Wiggly store has just been sold in my neighborhood. The new name on the store now states “market”. WalMart has food stores. I am sure the different names have a significant meaning for each business. Question: what determines a store, that sells food, to be called a market, a grocery store or a food store?
