Corner stores and supermarkets

The corner grocery store was an American tradition, but now it is dying out. In older times there was a small grocery store in every neighborhood. Every day a housewife went to the store to buy milk, fresh bread and other food. Now most corner stores are closing. They are losing business to large supermarkets.

Supermarkets are bigger than corner stores. The corner store is a family business. Supermarkets employ more people. They are newer, more modern and they stay open longer. They have a greater variety of products. They buy a larger amounts of food, so they can offer lower prices.

Many people miss the old corner stores. It was smaller, friendlier and closer to home. But small business can’t compete with larger companies.
