For a long time, large supermarkets have been favored by consumers because of their rich variety of commodities, preferential prices and accessible characteristics, and shopping in supermarkets has become one of the necessary ways for many consumers to buy daily necessities.
In recent years, in order to adapt to consumers' pursuit of quality, diversified consumer demand and continuous pursuit of fresh consumption desire, as a traditional retail format of supermarkets, gradually from the "large and complete" transformation of the development of "small and fine" supermarkets, thousands of square meters of boutique supermarkets have become the market's hot favorite.
