Are the brake pads wearing evenly? If not, the issue is likely a seized slide pin or bushing for/in the caliper. If the pads are wearing evenly, then try fully compressing the caliper. Assuming it does not compress easily, then crack open the bleeder screw and see if it not compresses easily. If so, the issue is likely a faulty brake hose. If it's still difficult to compress, the issue is probably a sticking caliper. If this is the vehicle you'll be using to get to the parts store, then you may want a buddy or a check valve to help you diagnose the caliper as you open and close the bleeder screw so you don't end up having to bleed the brakes just to run to the parts store.
