Hypermarts.

Where do you usually do most of your shopping ? You probably get most of your shopping done at superstores like Carrefour or RT-Mart. Nowadays, you can not go far in Taiwan without hearing about these hypermarts, or at least seeing an advertisement for one! Many customers are attracted to these stores because they offer convenience, variety, and low prices. Normally, you can buy everything you need all in one tripe like as food, clothes, and even household appliances. Plus, their prices are normally lower than smaller stores that only sell specific products like electronics.

Small business owners might be concerned about the future of their traditional Taiwanese shops and markets, since most of these superstores come from other countries like Japan, Korea, USA and so forth. Is there enough demand for both kinds of stores ? Indeed, will the hype about hypermarts ever die down ? Maybe yes, maybe no ... they usually based on the amount of sales to determine!
