Questions
How many grocery stores are in Texas?
Texas has 6,765 grocery stores on map listings as of September 2026. 2,717 of them (40%) are chain locations. The listings count grocery stores and supermarkets. Official counts show 3,739 businesses with payroll classed as supermarkets and grocery stores in 2023, up 6.7% from 2019.
How much do households in Texas spend on groceries?
About $68B a year, or $6,186 per household. That is 2% below the U.S. average (an index of 98, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 6,765 grocery stores on map listings, it comes to $10.1M per store. The spending figure covers all groceries, not only grocery stores.

How does Texas compare with the U.S. for grocery stores?
Texas has 6.2 grocery stores per 10,000 households, 9% below the U.S. rate of 6.8. Spending per store is $10.1M, 8% above the U.S. figure of $9.3M. At the national ratio of grocery stores to household spending, Texas would have about 7,318, against 6,765 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 2,940 households, against one for every 2,053 across the U.S. The official count rose 6.7% from 2019 to 2023, against 0.0% for the U.S.
Which market in Texas has the highest market score for grocery stores?
Among 26 scored metro areas in or partly in Texas, the Midland metro area scores highest, at 93 (very high). Among 32 scored small-town markets in or partly in Texas, the Gainesville area scores highest, at 93 (very high). Among 133 scored counties in Texas, Comal County scores highest, at 98 (very high). Scores compare each market with others of its kind across the U.S.
What is the Groundwork market score?
The Groundwork market score runs from 0 to 100 and compares a market with others of its kind for one business type: states with states, metro areas with metro areas, small-town markets and counties with their own. It weighs household spending per competitor (35%), households per business with payroll (25%), population growth (20%) and spending power (20%), each ranked against those peers. A higher score means that, taken together, the market has more household spending and more households for each business already there, faster population growth and more spending per household than similar markets. It describes a market, not any one site or deal. Texas scores 76 for grocery stores (high), #5 of the 50 states and DC.
How can I see the market around a specific site?
Run a Groundwork site report on an address in Texas. It maps the grocery stores on map listings near the site and sizes the households and spending within the distance you choose. New accounts get 10 actions over 3 days, no card.
