While convenience stores dominate Taiwan's retail landscape, traditional corner neighbourhood grocery stores continue to hold their ground, albeit occupying a smaller share of the market. These local grocers, often family-owned and operated, boast unique characteristics that set them apart from modern convenience stores.
In addition to longstanding traditional grocers, small local shops specialising in imported food products are experiencing growth. These stores focus on specific origins of imported goods, ranging from Japanese and Korean to Western products.
While many local grocers operate independently or with only a few outlets, the rise of e-commerce during the pandemic has provided opportunities for expansion. Online sales have become a crucial revenue stream for independent grocers, allowing them to reach a broader customer base beyond their physical locations.

Small local grocers are mostly independent retail outlets (with a selling space of under 400 square metres), kiosks, market stalls or street vendors, owned by families and/or run on an individual basis, and with a primary focus on selling food/beverages/tobacco and other groceries. Small local grocers also includes ethnic grocery stores that specialize in foreign brands and food types, health food stores, confectioners/newsagents/tobacconists (CTNs), food & drink souvenir stores, legally registered mobile shops that are run out of a truck, and regional specialty stores. Retail sales from farmers markets, farms, vineyards, or similar producers are also included in small local grocers. Outlets located within wet markets in Southeast Asia (often located in government-owned multi-story buildings) should be counted as separate outlets.
