Local shops are better for the community than large supermarkets

By Diana Hernandez

In some countries there are varieties of supermarkets that people can choose according to their preferences or flavors. Sometimes the increments of supermarkets reflect the growth in domestic trade but the increase of large supermarkets brings consequences as contamination and the bankrupted of local shops and their owners.

Firstly, for the community is a better large supermarket because there are more job opportunities. For example, in Colombia there are supermarkets as Exito, Carulla or Olimpica where owners need more and more employees for the attention of their customers.

Secondly, for the community is a better large supermarket than local shops because people can find different brands of products or different price according to their needs.

On the other hand with the increase of large supermarkets owners of local shops can lost their customers reducing the income for sales. In addition large supermarkets bring consequences as contamination because in the streets there are more cars creating pollution in the air with the smoke of these.

In conclusion I consider that the increase of large supermarkets give more opportunities for all the kind of public.
