Supermarkets:

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While supermarkets may vary in the number of products they carry per store, they are typically designed to maximize efficiency, with layouts and stocking strategies that help them sell as many products as possible while keeping costs low. While some supermarkets may earn net profits of at least 15 percent of sales, this is not universally true and can vary based on factors like the size of the store and the local market. Similarly, while supermarkets may have been late adopters of the mass-merchandising concept compared to other retailers like department stores, this is not necessarily a defining characteristic of the industry as a whole.
