My weekly groceries transactions usually look like:

Liabilities:Credit Card:Bank of Example          $100
Expenses:Food:Groceries                          $ 72
Expenses:Pet:Food                                $ 12
Expenses:Health & Beauty                         $  3
Expenses:Housewares                              $  7
[...]

Why do you care to track the expenses by store?


But, yes, GnuCash only makes it easy to account for one thing at a time.  We
suggest by expense category ("project").
