Supermarkets unit 3

A supermarket, a form of grocery store, is a self-service store offering a wide variety of food and household merchandise, organized into departments. It is larger in size and has a wider selection than a traditional grocery store, also selling items typically found in a convenience store. Supermarkets are an important part of daily life in Britain. The five biggest supermarkets sell 80% of all groceries. Tesco is the biggest he sell food, drinks, clothes...

In the larger supermarkets you can buy just about anything. And while they are there with their car, customers can buy petrol too. There are many more supermarkets now than j20 years ago. A lot of people now use online shopping. It's becoming a very popular way to shop.

But not everyone likes supermarkets. Small shops in towns and villages are closing because supermarkets can sell the same things cheaper. Many supermarkets are poen 24 hours a day and seven days a week. But not on Sundays when shops can only open for five hours. That's enough for most people! But you can still shop online.
