SLC31-W2: Shop & Share Challenge - Visit a Supermarket or Mini Market

Dear friends, I hope you are all well. I am also, Alhamdulillah, doing very well by the endless mercy of Allah. Before we know it, we have reached season 31, and this is the second week. A beautiful topic has been given in the second week, focusing on freedom of speech. For this, I thank the person who created this contest.

Dear friends, the supermarket I am going to talk to you about is called BCL Super Store. Let's get acquainted with this BCL Superstore. It is located in Bogura district in the northern part of Bangladesh. It is situated about half a kilometer north from the city on Nawabbari Road. To put it more clearly, I would like to say that this BCL Super Store is on the ground floor of the TMSS Market on Nawabbari Road.

BCL Super Store Information: This BCL Superstore mainly consists of three floors, and the superstore is located among these three floors. However, separate systems like furniture and other items are on the upper floors, but all the items available in the superstore are on the lower floor. And I am discussing the lower section in front of you. This superstore is so beautiful and well-organized, with everything around clearly clean and tidy. There are cash counters in almost two areas of this store. I am presenting some more information to you through pictures.

If I provide you with more information about the store, I would say that this store has around 10 to 12 employees, and each one assists every customer. Currently, there are some employees, along with several more. Some are occupied with cleaning and maintenance work, while others are busy arranging various products in their designated places. Let's look at some pictures to get more information, where we can see what other products are actually available. Before that, I should tell you that there is nothing here that cannot be found; for getting lentils in large quantities and various types of products, this is sufficient. Let's look at the pictures and see the names to know what is available here.

Personally, I found the systems to be very good. Different products and items are placed in specific locations, which makes it very easy for customers to access them. Additionally, more can be shared, but as I answer the questions below, all of what I share will be included. So, let's answer some questions below and discuss more aspects of the store and its levels.

✓ Tell us why you chose that supermarket or mini market

Great question. In response to this question, I am expressing my personal opinion. I have come here many times before. The main reason I have come here is that there is not too much traffic around. There is a fairly pleasant environment because behind it there is a river, and next to the river is the TMSS Supermarket. Since these markets are on one side, there is not much crowd or traffic. In addition, compared to other supermarkets, this supermarket is a bit different, completely natural, and looks very beautiful.

Primarily, I had come here to shop and bought almost two items. I have shopped from other places as well, but the reason I came here today is to review and shop. I will present the prices of the toys I bought here in front of you, and the product prices here are determined from here, and it should be understood what the prices of this store are like. So let's mention some pictures and prices of what I bought.

Your shopping experience.

This is such a beautiful question. Actually, I went there to review it; I didn’t shop much, I didn’t share my experience, otherwise the review would remain incomplete. Anyway, I went there around 11:00 AM, which is almost near noon. During this time, there aren’t many mistakes; there’s a bit less variation, especially compared to the afternoon or evening when it is more crowded. So I was able to do photography and shopping very nicely. I got my necessary items very naturally and simply, exactly the way I wanted. After finishing shopping, I submitted them at the cash counter, and you calculated the account using the computer and handed me the check, after which I paid the bill.

✓ What do you think the supermarket or mini market needs to do to expand and tell us if the business is lagging in patronage.

You have asked a wonderful question. I believe there is no end to improving this business; rather, there is no end to improvement, and it will continue to improve. However, at the end of the question, it was mentioned whether the customers face any difficulty or suffering. I would definitely say that here the customers are getting a sufficient amount of facilities. So I think in this regard, we can undoubtedly enjoy this store. But, as I mentioned in the beginning, there is no end to improvement. From what I have seen, I think it has become perfect in every way. However, since it is personally mentioned to improve, I will say. To improve the bag. The BCL store name will be on it. But the one I got has no name, just a completely ordinary bag. This is enough to improve.

✓ Do you think a supermarket or a mini market should be more popular than a local business YES or NO? And support your options with what you have experienced before now.

To be honest, this is a local supermarket, and I don't think it should be more popular compared to others because it is already popular. There are a few named and popular supermarkets in Bogura city, such as Superstar, which has everything, Shwapno, and Big Bazaar, and in Bogura, this BCL store. I think these are sufficiently popular; there is no shortage in terms of popularity.
