    Is there really such a thing as "TYPICAL" when it comes to a supermarket. In Russia there are literally 100s of different supermarkets you can choose from to do your daily or weekly shopping. To one person this store is very typical. To someone else another chain store is more typical. Let me know the name of the "Very Typical" store you shop at around the world?

    Azbuka Vkusa is a chain of premium class stores in Moscow and in the capitals of major regions of Russia. Ordinary citizens buy daily food in such stores as Auchan, Pyaterochka, Chizhik and Magnit. There are networks of the middle price segment - Globus, Lenta and Perekrestok. But the prices of basic foodstuffs do not differ much. Premium segment stores have expensive products like crabs, fresh shrimps and elite beef varieties. I usually order products from online stores of various retail chains with home delivery. With a purchase price of $50 or more, courier delivery becomes free. The courier arrives within an hour.

На готовую еду есть скидка 30% в последний день срока годности. В целом у нас есть богатые люди, которые готовы переплачивать чтобы не общаться с обычным народом, не толкаться в супермаркете, ну и выбирать среди изобилия. Если я готовлю сама и не ем всякие хлопья и газировки, закупиться можно на фермерском рынке. Выйдет не хуже, и дешевле раза в два с половиной 😂

    In regard to comparison to other international stores, and I can honestly say after seeing your video that supermarket blows the rest of them out of the water. Why? I reside within Scotland and have lived previously lived within Los Angeles which has a famous chain of supermarkets called Vons and another one called Ralphs while UK’s Tesco, Morrisons, but while this Russian supermarket you’ve shown us is far superior to them with its massive selection of goods on offer and it is extremely well presented throughout the store has set the bar very high for other international supermarkets to live up too.
    A great video showing us the Russian economy is doing extremely well, but while the Western Nations has gone from the frying pan already into the fire pit unless Trump pulls them all out of it sooner or later when he finally takes Office.

      It comes from the fact that usually prices to rent or to buy trade spaces for stores are higher than prices to rent or to buy living areas or apartments. So for developers stores are attractive to deal with. And according to Russian low stores must have separate entrances. That's why the first floor or ground floor are usually used for service purposes.
