The contrast between these smaller versions of the supermarkets andthe traditional 'open all hours' impression we have of local comer shopscould not be greater.

It's not onlyquick to shop there, but easyand, on the whole,)\l~~\\.t as.welLEven if the item you have gone to buy costs the normal price, theimpulse to buy other products can cost you dearly. Research has shownthat someone popping in to their local convenience store intending tobuy only some bread would, on average, spend a total of 1, 208 onproducts overjust one year from that store.On the other hand, smaller stores are more 'front heavy' in.:omparison to larger branches.
