Description: Canadians prefer to shop in chain stores, most of them are operated by large groups of chain stores. Canada is divided into three categories: warehouse-style, regional and ethnic minorities.

Canadian Supermarket Culture

Because Canadians prefer to shop in chain stores, most of them are operated by large groups of chain stores. Canada is divided into three categories: warehouse-style, regional and ethnic minorities.

1. Warehouse type: This type of warehouse usually occupies hundreds of thousands of square feet and sells food, household goods, clothes, furniture, and even electrical appliances for large families at prices close to wholesale. Such supermarkets usually only have two to three branches in a city, and they are located in areas far from the city center without public transportation. Due to the cold weather in Canada, many families are accustomed to driving vehicles to these warehouses to buy large amounts of food and daily necessities every week or even every month.

2. Regionality: These areas are small in scale, but branches are spread across every community. In some areas, there may even be three to four regional groups belonging to different groups.

Because the warehouse-style only sells family-packed items, some small families usually go to these areas to buy smaller quantities of food and supplies. Moreover, these supermarket branches have more convenient locations, and some fresh foods such as meat, fruits, etc. have a short storage period, so many people will buy fresh foods in this category every few days. However, because of the smaller regional scale, the selling price of the product will be higher.

3. Ethnic minorities: The last one sells non-mainstream food, usually family-owned. Because Canada is a multicultural society, this type of selling ethnic food has a lot of room for survival.

The scale of this type is usually smaller than that of the region, and it only sells food from a certain ethnic group and a small amount of Western food from mainstream society. Because most ethnic minorities are family-owned, there will only be one store in the city or even in the country.

Supermarket Culture In China

China (in particular the mainland here) is a country that was introduced relatively late in the world. Before the development of supermarkets, most people in mainland China bought daily goods in some grocery stores.

However, in the early 1990s, supermarket culture gradually "invaded" mainland China, and foreign supermarkets began to operate, such as the Carrefour supermarket from France.

In the next few years, there have been exclusive supermarket companies in mainland China, such as the first opened in Tianhe, Guangzhou. The supermarket culture has been alive in Hong Kong after the return to the motherland. Therefore, some supermarkets in Hong Kong, such as Baijia, have also gone north. Open branches. Supermarkets in Mainland China are mostly large-scale, unlike small stores in Hong Kong. Most supermarkets in mainland China sell electrical appliances. Generally, supermarkets in mainland China have at least two to three floors. People in mainland China have become accustomed to convenient supermarkets and seldom go to street grocery stores. However, the "zero plastic bag measure" implemented by mainland China for the "Green Olympics" has reduced people's shopping in supermarkets.
