A supermarket is a large retail store that sells a wide variety of food and household products. These stores typically offer fresh produce, meats, dairy, canned goods, and cleaning supplies. Supermarkets are designed for self-service, allowing customers to browse aisles and select items they wish to purchase. Most supermarkets also feature additional services, such as bakeries, delis, and pharmacies. They often provide shopping carts and baskets for convenience. Many supermarkets are part of larger chains, which can offer competitive prices and loyalty programs to attract customers.
