Food Cooperatives exist. Ours hasn't changed the location of things since they opened the new location, like 20 years ago.

You just reminded me how my local Co-op downsized (basically walled off the back half of the store) and they did rearrange everything to accommodate that. They used to sell electronics and all sorts of things and suddenly they had none of that and a whole bunch of products also vanished. I'll grant you that it didn't change much before or after that though.

But then I'm talking about the company known as Co-op here in the UK, who are excessively fond of charging no less than 10% more than other supermarkets for the same products, then close their stores in confusion when people shop elsewhere, so maybe this is a different thing altogether. They started out as a co-operative, but they stripped all that back and they're just another, expensive, mini-mart chain now.
