I agree with domeguy, salvage yards would be a gold mine for spare parts, building materials, containers, hoses, rubber, etc. short term, stores, walmarts, malls, costcos would be taking your life into your own hands. Corner stores might fair better if ya get there early and the owner hasn't fortified it yet. Long term these places would be nothing more than ghost towns and fortified locations for gangs and groups. Not worth it imho. It will be about foraging... Backyard gardens, farmers fields, back country harvesting. That's where the grub will be found long term. You may find eats from time to time, but I think what you'd get wouldn't be worth the danger. A couple of 'found' tins of tuna aren't going to feed a group, and there's a good chance yer Gonna have to beat the MAG that has holed up there to get it.
I honestly think that raiding, hunting and gathering parties will be the only thing to keep a MAG going long term until they are able to put down fully defended roots.
