Every so often I come across shop owners of smaller businesses who complain about the big ones , like ASDA , TESCO etc and claim that they are eating away their business and shouldnt exist.
Hence my question, are the likes of ASDA and TESCO wrong in their existence ? Are the smaller businesses really suffering because of the presence of the giants? Should the giant brands be discouraged from growing bigger and bigger ?
What are your thoughts on this?
Re: Big fish eating away the small fish
my husband was watching a BBC documentary, and I caught a few scenes of it.... in it they compared prices of stuff at small stores vs big stores. I was surprised to see that prices at small stores were lower than at teh bigger stores. Here in US it's opposite...
Re: Big fish eating away the small fish
Actually I have no idea what part of the UK the documentary covered but honestly speaking it costs us much more to get stuff from smaller shops . They are expensive and in many cases they dont even offer the return service of products or make it really difficult.
Hence why we prefer to buy only from bigger stores because of their return policies.
