The floor
A full-service market: the counters you come in for, and the grocery you leave with.

Fruit, vegetables, and a natural and organic set, at the front of the shop.

A full-service butcher for steaks, roasts, cutlets, and the cut you actually wanted.

A service fish counter for fillets, shellfish, and dinner that does not wait.

Sliced to order, plus the platters that carry a Sunday table.

Bread, cookies, and cakes. Call ahead when the cake has a name on it.

Specialty and imported cheeses, cut when you want a wedge and not a warehouse block.

Rolls, prepared meals, and dinner that survived the ride home.

Coffee and juice inside the market, so the shop can start before the cart does.

A hot bar, soup, and an olive bar for the meal you did not defrost.
