Many small local shops are closing as they are unable to compete with large supermarkets in the area. How does this affect local communities? How could this situation be improved?
It is undeniable that many shops located in local areas are losing their competiveness due to huge supermarkets. Personally, I believe that this phenomenon has detrimental impacts on local communities, but giant supermarkets also affect positive impacts on local communities, and I will outline some measures that can be taken steps to improve this situation.
To start with, it was common for people to purchase some commodities they need in the local street markets about 12 years age. However, buying something in the local shops has become a rarity after a large number of huge supermarkets have been constructed in the local areas. Hence, this results directly in vanishing traditional shopping cultures such as haggling prices. This type of shopping custom is not allowed when shopping in global behemoth like Costco and Walmart. On the other hand, shopping in large supermarkets could have positive effect on local communities. For example, in comparison to local shops, mammoth supermarkets have many parking lots, which are really important for shoppers who use their own cars every time they shop. In this regard, some people prefer to visit to large supermarkets.
There are several methods to solve problems described above. Firstly, government could create a new law that large supermarkets close every weekends to encourage people to go to local shops. For instance, Korea government enforced the law in practice to revitalize local street markets’ traditional ambiance a couple of years ago. As a result, local citizens should go to local shops if they need to purchase grocery items on weekends. In terms of lack of parking space in local shops, merchants working in local shops need to collect some money to expand parking space for regular patrons. If this plan would do the trick, they might be able to attract more people’s attentions.
In conclusion, it is true that although people’s attentions towards local shops have significantly diminished during the last decade, I believe that there are some effective solutions to recover local shops’ reputation.
