What does "Shang Chao" mean?

Shang Chao, or Supermarket, is short for Shopping Center Supermarket. Because Shang Chao needs admission fees, bar code fees and other fees, it has high requirements on the quality of goods. Therefore, the goods generally sold in Shang Chao have higher prices and better quality. Another reason for high commodity prices is the long payment and settlement cycle in Shang Chao, which leads to slow payment. Besides, there is a lot of money in shopping malls, and suppliers dare not shoddy, which is why the quality in Shang Chao is better. Under the background that the retail format of large supermarkets tends to be saturated and e-commerce impacts the whole traditional retail system, compared with large supermarkets and small convenience stores, community supermarkets have certain comparative advantages and become the focus of the layout of major retail giants. Looking at today's commercial layout, community supermarkets will be an important direction for the transformation of large-scale commercial supermarkets in the future.
