150. Superstore
For the past month Mark King had been
flyers in the mail about a new superstore
was opening up in his neighborhood. The flyers
him. He had never heard the term superstore
. Later on, he found out that a superstore
a large retail store that sells a variety
products, usually at discount prices. Sometimes superstores are
called big box stores. Many times they are
stores owned by one company.
The flyers all
different messages about the superstore opening. One set
flyers invited him and others to apply for
at the store. The jobs paid well and
offered some benefits. Mark thought this was a
thing since he knew many people were looking
work. Another set of flyers included coupons to
used on opening day. The store had many
for common items like paper towels, but also
big screen televisions. Mark thought this too was
good thing. It seemed like a good idea
be able to get a variety of things
one place instead of going from one store
another. It would save time and money. Superstores
sell groceries and clothes under one roof.
Another
of flyers contradicted the positive messages about the
though. Some local residents were organizing a protest
the superstore. The flyers said that the superstore
bad for the community because it threatened the
of smaller stores in the area. Mark thought
Mr. Hernandez who owned a small grocery store
the block . That was where Mark bought
food items like eggs and milk. He didn't
Mr. Hernandez's store to be closed, but he
wanted to save money.
