To be clear, I don't want to be required to go to a grocery store. I just think it would be nice to have a backyard farming type pack with more harvestables and craftables, and then improved retail displays for them. Then you could build grocery stores where your city sims could go and buy fresh ingredients to make their food cheaper, which could accommodate a little of the crowd who want to have to shop for groceries (if they don't grow their own). If you own GTW you could also use the new items to own your own.
I'm thinking displays that look more like the ones in Sims 2, with baskets or bins of fresh vegetables that look appetizing. If you own the store they could get sparser as your customers buy from them until they are restocked. They should come in a minimum of two types - grocery style and farmer's market style. And there should be types that accommodate every type of harvestable or craftable food or hygiene item. Shelves that hold bottles of honey/herbalism mixtures/potions/etc, bins that hold vegetables/fruits/herbs, refrigerator cases for eggs and milk (since I want those in the same pack), etc. If you're building a store, the different options for what goes on the shelves/bins/etc could be different swatches, so you could decide what your sims have as options to buy.
Make it a market lot type that can be a store or an outdoor market, but always involves at least some food. That's what I'd like, anyway. Some would say it was DLC for DLC, but if the alternative is never seeing any development of an idea that wasn't fully fleshed out in the original pack, I'll take it. Actually while they're adding a new retail type, maybe this would be a good time to introduce multi-use lots as well. Those are really missing right now.
