Due to the development and rapid expansion of supermarket in some countries, many small, local business are unable to compete. Some people think that the closure of local business will bring about the death of local communities. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

The ubiquity and widespread supermarket in modern society is taking a toll on the existence of small scale local businesses.

Hence

, according to some people, if

rend continues, the likelihood of complete cessation of local shops operation is highly likely and will result in the demise of the local communities. I completely agree with the given view and the points to bolster my opinion will be elaborated in the subsequent paragraph. To embark, it irrefutable that most of the products that are being sold in supermarkets are far expensive than that of what is sold on local stores.

This

is owing to the fact that stellar shops have more operational expenses to pay.

This

includes advertising, airconditioning , monthly property rental and employees salary. In order to recuperate from these expenditures, they add these costs on the items they sell. As a consequence, local shoppers suffer from paying high priced articles which they have paid for less on local stores.

Therefore

, if local small scale shops will cease to operate,

then

local people will tend to suffer.

Secondly

, general stores are often strategically built on city centres or plaza, where the vast majority of potential costumers lives. In return,

this

deprives quick accessibility amongst people who are living on far-flung or remote areas, who consistently depend on their small local stores.

For instance

, in Bicol province in the Philippines, local folks solely rely on the goods sold in their provincial mini-stores since

this

region is situated on mountain area and going to city just to shop for essential household items is possible but laborious as

this

region has a poor transport facility. If local stores would be close to giving way for the progress of superstores,

then

local communities are, indeed, at risk of dissipation. To recapitulate, the burgeoning growth of megastores is posing threat to the existence of small native shops. Their closure would have a negative impact on local society as their products are not only expensive but

also

their point of access is arduous that local communities may not be able to cope

as a result

of possible local shop closures.
