Supermarkets typically are chain stores, supplied by the distribution centers of their parent companies, thus increasing opportunities for economies of scale. Supermarkets usually offer products at relatively low prices by using their buying power to buy goods from manufacturers at lower prices than smaller stores. Hypermarkets offer shoppers a one-stop shopping experience. The idea behind this big box store is to provide consumers with all the goods they require, under one roof. Some of the more popular hypermarkets include the Wal-Mart Supercenter, Fred Meyer, and Super Kmart. The hypermarket industry in India at the beginning of 2010 was valued at $37 billion with strong prospects for the future. ... Research suggests that large format stores/hypermarkets – the physical expression of retail are booming. But the harsh fact is that the heady gold hustle days for organized retail are over. https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhil-nkady/ https://www.slideshare.net/NikhilKadam66
