VELAVAN HYPERMARKET:

VELAVAN HYPER MARKET is located in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, India and

is part of the Health and Personal Care Stores Industry. VELAVAN HYPER
MARKET has 73 total employees across all of its locations.

PRODUCTS AVAILABLE IN HYPERMARKET:

The supermarket typically has places for fresh meat,

fresh produce, dairy, delicious items, baked goods, etc. Shelf space is also reserved
for canned and packaged goods and for various non-food items such
as kitchenware, household cleaners, pharmacy products and pet supplies. Some
supermarkets also sell other household products that are consumed regularly, such
as alcohol (where permitted), medicine, and clothing, and some sell a much wider
range of non-food products: DVDs, sporting equipment, board games, and seasonal
items (e.g., Christmas wrapping paper in December).

A larger full-service supermarket combined with a department store is sometimes

known as a hypermarket. Other services may include those of banks, cafés,
childcare centers/creches, insurance (and other financial services), mobile
phone services, photo processing, video rentals, pharmacies, and gas stations. If the
eatery in a supermarket is substantial enough, the facility may be called a
"grocerant", a blend of "grocery" and "restaurant".

The traditional supermarket occupies a large amount of floor space, usually on a

single level. It is usually situated near a residential area in order to be convenient to
consumers. The basic appeal is the availability of a broad selection of goods under
a single roof, at relatively low prices. Other advantages include ease of parking and
frequently the convenience of shopping hours that extend into the evening or even
24 hours of the day. Supermarkets usually allocate large budgets to advertising,
typically through newspapers. They also present elaborate in-shop displays of
products.

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 can.
They also minimise financing costs by paying for goods at least 30 days after
receipt and some extract credit terms of 90 days or more from vendors. Certain
products (typically staple foods such as bread, milk and sugar) are very
occasionally sold as loss leaders so as to attract shoppers to their store.
Supermarkets make up for their low margins by a high volume of sales, and with
of higher-margin items bought by the attracted shoppers. Self-service with
shopping carts (trolleys) or baskets reduces labor costs, and many supermarket
chains are attempting further reduction by shifting to self-service check-out.

GROCERIES STORES IN HYPER MARKET:

A grocery store  is a store that primarily retails a general range of food

shops (though in everyday use, people usually use either the term "supermarket" or
a "corner shop" or "convenience shop").

usually stock significant amounts of non-food products, such
as clothing and household items. Small grocery stores that sell mainly fruit and

stores that predominantly sell prepared food, such as candy and snacks, are known
as convenience shops or delicatessens.

PHARMACY IN HYPER MARKET:

Pharmacy is the clinical health science that links medical

science with chemistry and it is charged with the discovery, production, disposal,
safe and effective use, and control of medications and drugs. The practice of
pharmacy requires excellent knowledge of drugs, their mechanism of action, side
effects, interactions, mobility and toxicity. At the same time, it requires knowledge
of treatment and understanding of the pathological process. Some specialties of
pharmacists, such as that of clinical pharmacists, require other skills, e.g.
knowledge about the acquisition and evaluation of physical and laboratory data.

The scope of pharmacy practice includes more traditional roles such

as compounding and dispensing of medications, and it also includes more modern
services related to health care, including clinical services, reviewing medications
for safety and efficacy, and providing drug information. Pharmacists, therefore, are
the experts on drug therapy and are the primary health professionals who optimize
the use of medication for the benefit of the patients.
