I shop at the 'asian' stores near the market for most of my vegetables. As my work is mostly car-oriented, I want to stop at a store with parking on my way home (generally speaking).
Certainly, I'm not everyone. Just one voice.
As an example, have you tried shopping at the Shoppers downtown, using their parking? Curious what you think of it in terms of accessibility (is the parking easy to get to from your drive, is the parking easy to get to from your shopping experience). I've never seen that lot full, and I think Shoppers has done a wonderful job of making it an easy experience for drivers. A grocery store in urban format would all but certainly make similar ease for drivers, even if the idea is to cater to transit/bike/walk customers more than a suburban store.
