Describe superstores, category killers, and service retailers
What will be an ideal response?
Superstores are much larger than regular supermarkets and offer a large assortment of routinely purchased food products, nonfood items, and services. Walmart, Target, Meijer, and other discount retailers offer supercenters, very large combination food and discount stores. Recent years have also seen the rapid growth of superstores that are actually giant specialty stores, the so-called category killers (e.g., Best Buy, Home Depot, Petco, and Bed, Bath & Beyond). They feature stores the size of airplane hangars that carry a very deep assortment of a particular line. Category killers are found in a wide range of categories, including electronics, home-improvement products, books, baby gear, toys, home goods, party goods, sporting goods, and even pet supplies. Finally, for many retailers, the product line is actually a service. Service retailers include hotels and motels, banks, airlines, restaurants, colleges, hospitals, movie theaters, tennis clubs, bowling alleys, repair services, hair salons, and dry cleaners.
