Not really. A Tesco Express or Sainsbury Local is essentially a slimmed down grocery store. They have almost all of the same sections as a full-sized store but are located in stores the size of a London Drugs or McDonalds. Consequently, they'll have a Meats section but there won't be a butcher and they'll have Mexican products but probably not chipolte peppers in adobo sauce.

No, smart growth would only be moving this development out of the core if the developments were also on transit lines that connect to all areas of the city. Further, true smart growth would be building a city that is oriented toward multiple modes of transport from the beginning.
