local businesses. Due to the increasing competition, local communities could soon seize to exist. In my opinion, small businesses might face long term ramifications of expanding supermarkets. High-end malls and shops in many nations have adversely affected small businessmen and their communities.

Firstly

, big businesses offer products at lower prices with additional perks, they do not have to manage middlemen, causing small businesses to struggle with competitive rates from big brands.

For example

, when Walmart entered the Indian

were offering hygienically packaged fruits,

as a result

, many local farmers suffered huge losses.

Furthermore

, supermarkets attract customers with facilities like air conditioning, well trained staff along with the convenience to shop for various products under one roof.

However

, local shops are generally situated in small areas and many have budgetary constraints.

Consequently

, many people prefer to buy at supermarkets as they find it less time consuming, affecting sales in local shops. Though supermarkets help elevate the economy, their expansion negatively affects the local communities and their livelihood. Often, local businesses are family owned, who are inhabitants of the same locality and

therefore

part of a community that thrives from the sales and revenue of their shops.

Nevertheless

, gradual growth of shopping malls and other brands that enter their market affect profit leading to low footfall of customers.

As a result

, communities suffer, people have to look for other avenues to earn their living, due to
