Hi. I just used the White & Yellow Pages app to look for supermarkets in your area and found a bunch of them, but I have no idea which ones are chain stores, as I haven't been around Independence in ages. On a whim, I checked out Piggly Wiggly, which lets you order online, but the site says that it takes ten to fifteen days for an online order to be processed. You have a Costco in your area, but I don't think they deliver. Too bad, because Costco's got great stuff. Give them a call, perhaps they might have changed recently. Amazon, interestingly enough, has recently gotten into the grocery delivery business and may be worth checking out. Maybe they contract with local markets so that you can get good locally-grown produce. I remember when I lived near Independence and the local produce was hard to beat. And Kansas City steaks? Can't find anything that'll match 'em out here in Los Angeles, no way. But I'm beginning to ramble, so I'd better get out of here. Good luck.
