#🔒 Pull specific classes in Selenium when there are duplicates, and issues with printing?

Trying to write code that pulls specific classes from a website using selenium but I am running into issues with duplicate class. The site is kinda set up similar to my example below:

choose grocery store:
    div class = current grocery store #The top one is your current grocery store
              div class = fruit
              div class = fruit
              div class = fruit
    div class = grocery store
              div class = fruit
              div class = fruit
              div class = fruit
    div class = grocery store
              div class = fruit
              div class = fruit
              div class = fruit
    div class = grocery store
              div class = fruit
              div class = fruit
              div class = fruit

I just want to grab the fruit from the second grocery store. I tried just printing all the fruit class but its prints everything from all the grocery stores. However I was able to mitigate this by using the following below:

  while i <= 4:
        driver.implicitly_wait(30)
        worldName = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, f"//*[@id='choose-grocery-store']/div[2]/div[2]/div[{i}]/div[2]/div[1]")
        driver.implicitly_wait(30)
        print(groceryName)
        i += 1

This work around works, but I was curious if there was a better way to do it. Next the only issue with my work around is my print states look something like this <selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="8cc454e6ac80a174d1f1dec9d324d8c4" and I guess it is just printing the reference? However when I change the code to :

  while i <= 4:
        driver.implicitly_wait(30)
        worldName = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, f"//*[@id='choose-grocery-store']/div[2]/div[2]/div[{i}]/div[2]/div[1]")
        driver.implicitly_wait(30)
        print(groceryName.text)
        i += 1

It breaks

Fix by doing this:

  while i <= 4:
        driver.implicitly_wait(30)
        worldName = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, f"//*[@id='choose-grocery-store']/div[2]/div[2]/div[{i}]/div[2]/div[1]").text
        driver.implicitly_wait(30)
        print(groceryName)
        i += 1
