A supermarket chain is a big store that sells food and household items and is part of a group of similar stores. These supermarkets get their supplies from their parent company’s distribution centers, which helps them buy products from manufacturers at cheaper rates. This allows supermarkets to sell goods to customers at lower prices compared to smaller shops.
