Hypermarkets have many advantages to offer.

One-stop shopping is a big plus. Shoppers can find a wide range of high quality

products under one roof. Combining a supermarket

and a department store, megastores sell everything

from food to non-food goods: toys, clothes,

stationery, books, electronics, and even furniture,

sporting goods, gardening tools and car supplies.

There is no need to trail around a number of smallshops. As all the items on the shopping list can

be bought in these superstores, customers cansave a lot of time.

The price range and bargains have a wide appeal.For price-sensitive customers and bargain hunterssuperstores are the perfect choice.

Hypermarkets offer good service at unbeatableprices. Their own brands are always cheaper. They

constantly run special offers and promotions:

huge discounts, money-off coupons, bonus points

and free gift wrapping.

Convenience makes hypermarkets attractive. They have long opening hours, with some

providing a round-the-clock service.

Shoppers can browse around in comfort whilelistening to soft music in a spacious, air-

conditioned environment. Kids enjoy driving

their special trolleys.

Hypermarkets are easily accessible by car.Parking is easy and free. Shopping can be

dumped into the boot. Isnt it more comfortable

than hunting for a parking lot downtown, or

carrying heavy bags along crowded streets?

In the fast food restaurant or cafeteria of thehypermarket customers can quench their thirst

and satisfy their hunger after shopping.

At weekends hypermarkets frequently organiseprogrammes car shows, concerts, activities for

children turning shopping into entertainment

for the whole family.

Hypermarkets contribute to the local community. They reduce unemployment by offering a good

number of jobs with reasonable pay. Throughtaxes the hel boost the local econom .

The advantages of hypermarkets are hyped up.

The goods offered under one roof are often of poorquality, sometimes even putting your health at risk.

Pre-packed meat smells bad; dairy products aregone off; vegetables start to rot; clothes are off-

the-peg; electrical appliances soon break down.

At the grocers, greengrocers, fishmongers

butchers, florists, and in boutiques, toy shops,

bookshops you can purchase a wider variety of

fresher and higher-quality goods.

Shopping in a hypermarket is not as economical asbelieved. Shoppers may even be cheated.

You are tempted to get things that you dontneed, only because they are on special offer.Many special deals are out of stock after the

first day. Still, once you are there, you are lured

into buying much more expensive goods.

The original selling price may be hiked up, soyou save only 10% on a 50% discount.

If you buy two to get one free, youd better checkthe expiry date.

As megastores are on the outskirts, you must takethe car, which is an expensive nuisance.

Hypermarkets are inconvenient. They look ugly. No wonder they have earned

themselves the nickname big-box stores.

They are too enormous, making it a job to locatethe goods you need.

In a crowded hypermarket you can hardly pushyour trolley along the narrow aisles, and you get

irritated about the long queues at the checkout.

You are being watched all the time via closedcircuit television.

Being self-service shops, superstores are tooimpersonal. You must wait a long time for an

assistant to turn up to answer your questions. In

small shops you can do your shopping in a

friendlier environment. As you are attended by

assistants, you get a more professional service.

The contribution of hypermarkets to local communitiesis rather controversial.

They exploit and mistreat their workers, who haveto work long hours for low pay.

They bully suppliers to drive prices down. They cause unemployment. They force corner

shops out of business, as mom and pop familybusinesses havent got enough capital to compete

with multinational companies.
