English Only » Grocery Store?

Do Canadians mean Supermarket when they say "I am going to the grocery store?" Just wondering whether this is a saying-"restroom"-instead-of-"toilet" thing.

That's my understanding of this term, grocery store is a supermarket.
The smaller stores where you buy just a drink or cigarettes are called convinience stores or corner stores.

You mean washroom, right? Restroom is what Americans say...

Washroom is more common in Canada, but restroom is also used, especially in wannabe high class restaurants.
