A grocery store playset gives kids a counter, shelves and a register for pretend shopping. Larger wooden sets act as furniture for the playroom, while smaller plastic sets come with a cart and play food and can be stored in a bin. Pieces, batteries and assembly vary a lot.
The six playsets below cover a life-size wooden store, wooden counters, and plastic sets with carts, scanners and dozens of accessories. Sizes, materials and contents come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these playsets ourselves, and maker claims are described as theirs.
