Supermarkets are also not in a happy situation. Many may think it is Covid’s fault. The problem is that this is not the case, everything starts from further away.
The pandemic period has brought a lot of damage. The many are also included in this discourse supermarket closures. These have always taken up more space within our lives. Going to replace the small neighborhood shops. But, now, they are having a very difficult time.
