A supermarket is a departmentalized self0ser(ice store offering a wide (ariety of food and household merchandise. 3t is larger in size and has a wider selection than a traditional grocery store. 2he supermarket typically comprises meat, produce, dairy, and baked goods departments along with shelf space reser(ed for canned and packaged goods as well as for (arious nonfood items such as household cleaners, pharmacy products, and pet supplies. Most supermarkets also sell a (ariety of other household products that are consumed regularly, such as alcohol 'where permitted*, household cleaning products, medicine, clothes, and some sell a much wider range of non0food products. 2he traditional supermarket occupies a large floor space on a single le(el and is situated near a residential area in order to be con(enient to consumers. 3ts basic appeal is the a(ailability of a broad selection of goods under a single roof at relati(ely low prices. 4ther ad(antages include ease of parking and, frequently, the con(enience of shopping hours that e5tend far into the e(ening. upermarkets usually make massi(e outlays for newspaper and other ad(ertising and often present elaborate in0store displays of products. upermarkets are often part of a chain that owns or controls 'sometimes by franchise*

other supermarkets located in the same or other towns; this increases the opportunities for economies of scale. 3n $orth America, supermarket chains are often supplied from the distribution centers of a larger business, such as #oblaw ,ompanies in ,anada, which owns thousands of supermarkets across the nation. 2hey ha(e a distribution center in e(ery pro(ince 6 usually in the largest city in the pro(ince. upermarkets usually offer products at low prices by reducing margins. ,ertain products 'typically staples such as bread, milk and sugar* are often sold as loss leaders, that is, with negati(e margins. 2o maintain a profit, supermarkets attempt to make up for the low margins with a high o(erall (olume of sales, and with sales of higher0margin items. ,ustomers usually shop by putting their products into shopping carts 'trolleys* or baskets 'self0ser(ice* and pay for the products at the check0out. At present, many supermarket chains are trying to reduce labor costs further by shifting to self0ser(ice check0out machines, where a group of four or fi(e machines is super(ised by a single assistant. A larger full0ser(ice supermarket combined with a department store is sometimes known as a hypermarket. 4ther ser(ices that supermarkets may ha(e include banks, caf7s, creches, photo de(elopment, (ideo rental, pharmacies, and)or gas stations.
