Due to the development and rapid expansion of supermarkets, many small local businesses are unable to compete. Some people think that the closure of local businesses will bring about the death of local communities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

These days
supermarkets
are the very

from the suppliers.
On the contrary
, a local shopper buying from the same supplier has to pay a higher price and
hence
they cannot sell their goods at cheap rates.
Secondly
,
supermarkets
offer a wide range of products under one roof.
That is
why customers prefer to visit them
instead
of the local shops that sell only a limited choice of products.
On the other hand
, I believe that the expansion of the
supermarkets
is advantageous for the local
communities

First
and foremost, it reduces the monopoly of local

Also
, the local vendors have the opportunity to optimize their processes.

. To sum up, it is true that many local
businesses
are not able to compete with the
Supermarkets
.
Nevertheless
, it is not impossible.
On the other hand
, the
Supermarkets
are helping local
communities
by offering products at low prices and at the same time they are challenging local
businesses
to improve their processes.
Therefore
, I am of the opinion that
instead
of closing down local
businesses
must learn from the
supermarkets
and put in

to innovate their processes. In the end, the competition between
supermarkets
and local stores will only benefit the local community.
