Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chains have the advantage of being able to afford and use specialists in buying, selling, and store operations. This helps them to improve efficiency and competitiveness compared to independent stores, which may not have the same level of resources or expertise. The other options (freedom from unionization, freedom from antitrust legislation, and less concern for overlapping locations) are not necessarily major competitive advantages of chains.
