It is true that, in modern society, most
people prefer hypermarkets to small shops to buy groceries. It is, however,
necessary to grow small businesses in order to revive local economy. While I
believe that there are more positive reason than negative matter.
The first reason is that it is possible to buy
different kind of items at the same place. For example, if you want to purchase
food and office products, we have to go two type of shops but the hypermarket
can be made to buy different items without moving other store. This means you
can save your time and be more productive. Moreover most supermarkets have large
parking lots, better public transportation and many conveniences for their customers.
On the other hand, the small businesses have a lack of these facilities.
Secondly, the big markets sell cheaper price and
better quality items rather than corner shops. According to BBC News(2015), it
has different price between small and large market. Customers can save their
money by 20% off and most items have better quality, because they can storage a
lot of items. This means they can buy products in bulk, so it also makes
affordable cost to customers to buy good quality products. Moreover there are
many bargain sales in the store. That is why many people can purchase most
groceries at the hyper store.
In conclusion, There is a disadvantage to prefer
supermarkets to small stores. This matter disrupts growth of local economy. I
believe, however, it has more positive effects rather than negative effects.
