Like an empty stomach, talks of a downtown grocery store have been rumbling as the number of residents in the city s core continues to grow.  But before a large grocery store chain  or an independent grocer, for that matter  would locate downtown, it must consider a variety of factors from parking availability to customer base.  From a downtown standpoint, we haven t been prodded by anyone to try and find a location, said Budd Cullom of Knoxville s CHM Development, which specializes in grocery stores and retail. That doesn t mean any of these (grocers) might not be looking.   A 30,000-square-foot grocery store space is included in renderings for the proposed Old City baseball park complex, but no tenant has been announced.
