SLC31-W2: Shop & Share Challenge - Visit a Supermarket or Mini Market
Greetings from Mohammad Sumon!
How are you all friends? Hope you all are well. I am doing very well with all your prayers and the infinite mercy of the great Allah.
First of all, thank you @josepha for organizing a contest on such a wonderful topic. I believe this contest brings something new and meaningful. Although I joined at the very last moment, I’m truly happy to be a part of it. Participating in this contest gives me an opportunity to showcase my quality. So, let’s get started.
There is a demand for super shops everywhere in the world. Bangladesh is no exception; super shops can now be found in remote areas of villages as well as in Dhaka city. What is not in the super shops? They have a collection of all kinds of daily necessities. Anyway, today I will discuss a super shop in my area, Meena Bazar, ECB Chattar, Dhaka—through this post.
Sometimes I shop at super shops, but today is a little special because I will participate in the contest. Anyway, I entered and was impressed by the air-conditioned place. I walked around and saw the products of the entire super shop and took some photographs. They provide a money receipt with every product purchased from the super shop, so there is no chance of taking extra money. Those who register and become members of this super shop basically get points added to their account with every purchase, which can be redeemed later, and the person can make purchases of the same value.

Reasons for choosing a supermarket or mini market |
|---|
I usually choose Meena Bazar Super Shop for the clean environment and the convenience of getting all the necessary products under one roof. Especially, the convenience of checking the quality of the products and the expiration date is greater here. Also, since the price is written on the products in the super shop, there is no hassle of bargaining, which saves my time. Many small products that are not available in ordinary grocery shops are available there. Sometimes there is a discount or 'buy one get one' offer on certain products, which is not available in ordinary shops. These are the main reasons for choosing a super shop.

Price of the product purchased |

Today I mainly bought some daily necessities from Meena Bazar Super Shop which are:
| Item Name | Price In BDT (Bangladeshi Taka) | Price In Steem |
|---|---|---|
| Pran Full Cream Milk Powder (500gm) | 460 Taka | 64.69 Steem |
| Brower Sugar (1000gm) | 175 Taka | 24.61 Steem |
| Almond Nuts (100gm) | 250 Taka | 35.16 Steem |
Shopping Experience |
|---|
My shopping experience was quite positive. The convenience of using a trolley or basket made it easy to carry products in the super shop. Also, the staff of the super shop were quite cooperative and since there is a digital payment i.e. card payment, facility, I did not have to worry about carrying cash. Shopping was quite comfortable due to the air-conditioned environment.

Opinion on business expansion and current situation |
|---|
Things to do for business expansion:
Home delivery service: In my opinion, in the current busy time, arranging for products to be delivered to the doorstep of the customers will increase sales further.
Membership card: Providing loyalty points or special discounts for regular customers (although in a limited scope).
Product diversity: It would be good if there were a collection of some imported or specialized products along with local products.

I went to their outlet and found out that Meena Bazaar is launching a new service, if customers order online, they will deliver in just 59 minutes. This was my plan for today. I couldn't take my own photo because taking pictures of myself was prohibited inside the super shop.
I am inviting three of my friends on this platform to participate in this contest - @pelon53 @wilmer1988 @stef1 I look forward to your participation.

Review/Grading
Review:
"Meena Bazar” is a great place for people to shop from and being a beautiful place gives the supermarket an edge over others. You have tried, but put more effort next time.
