Groceries around Rd America

So my wife was asking me the other day about supplies I/we may need after I arrive at the track next week. I will be staying at the track but will need to stock up on some food & drinks I'll be needing until she arrives the 20th. I did a quick search earlier today and it looks like Plymouth may be the best place to find any grocery stores. Which also doesn't look that far from the track according to googles map scale, maybe 4-5 miles?

Any particular places I should be looking for, or avoiding?
TIA
 
Walmart Super Store 10 minutes from the track is the best option, and large enough to stop by as you go to the track.

I do all my shopping at the Super Walmart and on the same corner Farm-Fleet or is it Fleet-Farm. If you can't find it at either of those places you need to go to Milwaukee.
 
As an 'anti Wal Mart' guy, I'll put a pitch in for the Piggly Wiggly in Plymouth. Nice place, lotsa variety and it isn't owned by the Evil Empire.

Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it.
Dayle, I got a phone call from Dwight Aldred last night, he emphasized Piggly Wiggly too.
 
I would like to add my vote for the Piggly Wiggly. I am not an anti Walmart person but I am a pro racing person and in the past Piggly Wiggly has sponsored races at RA. When ever I can I try to return the favor.

But for the sheer "Really...?" factor, one should make a stop at Fleet Farm. You can buy a tractor, sweater for the wife, chikken feed and candy for the young'uns all under one roof. It is an experience not to be missed.

They also sell AGM batteries, I know because I had to buy one while at Brainerd when my battery went bad. Their corporate headquarters is in Brainerd MN. I think it is a Deka battery but for $134 it was not a bad price when I needed one between morning qualifying and the race.
 
Being that Ron brought up car parts. Yes, Fleet Farm is a good place for limited car parts. There is a NAPA store on a north/south side street approx 2 blocks directly south of Fleet Farm. They are good at getting things overnight.

And parts to repair exhaust system on tow vehicle!!! :D
 
The Fleet Farm store in Plymouth (not to be confused with Farm & Fleet which is their rival) also carries a lot of trailer parts i.e. bearings, spring shackles, brakes, tires, lights & harnesses, etc.

Also a good place to buy conduit for replacement awning poles if you need to repair your awning.
 
There's an entire aisle of nuts and bolts at Fleet Farm! Oh and camo print onesies and ladies undergarments.

There may or may not have been intentional innuendo in that previous statement. ;)
