Greengrocer

A greengrocer is a person who owns or operates a shop selling primarily fruit and vegetables.

The term may also be used to refer to a shop selling primarily produce.

[1] While once common in the United Kingdom and Australia, the increase in popularity of supermarkets caused greengrocer shops to become rarer, though they may still be found in smaller towns and villages.

Today, greengrocers can also be found in street markets, malls, and supermarket produce departments.

Because of its common misuse on greengrocers' signs (e.g apple's, orange's, or banana's), an apostrophe used incorrectly to form a plural is known as a greengrocers' apostrophe.
