What is the difference between a big box store and a supermarket?

The hypermarket is what we call a supermarket! It is a form of sales belonging to the supermarket. Because called hypermarket, first of all, Carrefour proposed, in order to better serve customers, customer convenience, the implementation of one-stop shopping fun, so the construction of the super large area of the supermarket, so called hypermarket.

The first hypermarket is built by Carrefour, now Carrefour almost all hypermarkets, the definition is very simple, the supermarket's overall business area of more than 8,000 square meters are all called hypermarkets, we do not call Carrefour hypermarkets, because the concept of supermarkets has been popularized in the minds of the people.

Before Carrefour built its hypermarket, the world's largest supermarket had an operating area of less than 2,000 square meters
