For the local shopping, it's "the market." Selection is okay, but not great
and most of the prices are a bit on the high side, but it is only about 5
miles away. Going to town shopping, it's the name of the store. That's the
major shopping - better selection, better prices (usually), better sales.
But, 15 miles, one way. "Pack a lunch" is the term of choice for BJ's or
Costco - 60 plus miles one way!
