But to me that is a concern because if we would see some kind of situation where land values would crash like we saw back in the early 80s, then you’re looking at a situation where now your debt to asset ratios look really, really bad.”

Fewer stores and fewer retailers leave rural grocery shoppers at a loss
8/22/2025 The Athens Messenger
Rial Carver, program director of the Rural Grocery Initiative at Kansas State University, said one of the main reasons for the consolidation that's taken place in the grocery industry are low profit margins of 1-3%. Large grocery retailers can spread their costs out across multiple locations and adapt more quickly to changes in food prices. "There are some economies of scale that you achieve when you have multiple stores that inherently independents lose out on," Carver explained. "By nature, independent grocers don't have the market power that national brands do."
