Answer 2

Advantages:

You could find anything you could imagine (maybe not everything because someone from Latin America wouldn't be able to find their speciality foods in an American supermarket). But overall, it's sort of a one stop shop, especially in a city where there are thousands of people living in an environment. So it becomes easier and faster for people to buy what they need and still be able to meet their time frame.

Disadvantages:

What you may find in the supermarkets might not exactly be fresh. Especially if you have the same people working in the meats working in the produce working then in the dairy. It may lead to cross contamination although it may seem unlikely that this could happen but then again could be possible. Also the vegetables may not exactly be fresh and because we've all witnessed how many fruits and vegetables seem past due which consists to the reason why most times they are placed in lower cost.

Economically:

Supermarkets may not be suitable for lower populated areas simply because the cost may outweigh the demand for supplies, so small corner stores may be more suitable. Also if there is a large supermarkets, smaller stores have to be competing for prices and sometimes large supermarkets can afford to lower their merchandise cost because they will gain money due to the large quantities of demand they may receive. Which then in turn smaller stores may have to raise their prices to meet their cost.
