Because of the trend of supermarket expansions in some countries, some believe it will have side effects on the local business.
In my opinion, no doubt these supermarkets are bigger and have more varieties than the local ones also some people are just getting fascinated about the international products and names also these supermarkets have other sections not just for fancy foods but also hygiene products, electronics, ready to cook food and ready to eat food from many cuisines which attract more people to visit the supermarkets.
Moreover, if you don’t have time to visit the supermarkets, they offer their mobile apps to deliver it to your door and offer loyalty cards to encourage people to buy more from them.
However, these products are so expensive and if we compare them with the local products’ prices and quality the local ones are much cheaper despite the local supermarkets being smaller and not having all these fancy products and services but you will always find one in each neighbourhood it is known among their residences having the alternative of daily usage products in reasonable prices offering a decent kind of service so if anyone is in a hurry and just want a fast cheap alternative you can visit the local business supermarket and it will be a good option.
To sum up, the expansions of supermarkets are trendy and popular among others with their big stores and fancy products but that can’t replace the local ones but there is no doubt that the local businesses supermarkets need to develop their services to meet the customer needs.
