All Torontonian's need groceries but not everyone has a car so there is a grocery store on every corner, but the margins are very thin. Not many are getting filthy stinkin rich off running a corner store.

The reason I mentioned immigrants is that they are often the only ones willing to put in 12 hours a day to make a minimal profit. The term immigrant does not make any reference to race if that is what you are implying.
