A supermarket is a departmentalized self-service store offering a wide variety of
food and household merchandise. It is larger in size and has a wider selection than a traditional
grocery store and it is smaller than a
hypermarket. The supermarket typically comprises meat, produce,
dairy, and baked goods departments along with shelf space reserved for canned and packaged goods as well as for various nonfood items such as household cleaners, pharmacy products, and pet supplies. Most supermarkets also sell a variety of other household products that are consumed regularly, such as
alcohol (where permitted), household cleaning products,
medicine,
clothes, and some sell a much wider range of non-food products.
