combination (food) store
although it sounds rather artificial, I thought I post it (not too many llinks)
In case the emphasis needs to be placed on "combining" two or more stores (such as butcher, baker, green grocer)

opening combination food store
or:
combination facility
see: http://www.oregon.gov/ODA/FSD/licensing.shtml
if it's more than just a combination of food stores/departments:
Combination Food & Drug Store

the following link also calls it

corner shop
In the U.K. we have very many of these, which offer a highly eclectic range of goods including groceries and often meat and which often expand into into "mini supermarkets".
New Oxford Dictionary: "corner shop: noun Brit. a small shop selling groceries and general goods in a mainly residential area."
