In the emerging markets of Romania or Serbia and Montenegro, small stores still dominate, while supermarkets are the most common type of store in Slovakia and in the urban areas of Kiev and Moscow.
However, supermarkets’ enduring popularity is based more than anything else on their proximity to consumers’ home or workplace — they are not considered to be particularly low cost, or offer the biggest range of products, and other store formats which offer both convenient locations and these other attractions are expected to become increasingly popular.
