Answers:
I agree, there is nothing super about them, its like fun size chocolate which its tiny, whats fun about that!!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
They are simply larger collections or super groups of things to buy!.
I like the term french hypermarchè better as it describes them better!.
They aren't any better in fact I think they are worse than going to a shop that sells specific items!. If you have time to go to a real butcher a real veg store and so on you'll get fresher goods!. I know that at least at the veg store you'll get better prices too!.
We have some here where you can do everything from buy fresh veg to get your prescription filled and pick up clothes for your kids!. Time is an important consideration for so many people!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Before supermarkets, you went to the grocer, the butcher, the baker, all separately!. Or you went to various stands at a market!. The supermarket sold meat, baked goods, canned goods, produce -- all in one place!

A supermarket is a self-service store offering a wide variety of food and household merchandise, organized into departments!. It is larger in size and has a wider selection than a traditional grocery store and it is smaller than a hypermarket or superstore!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Instead of going to the local market to visit all the stalls (greengrocer etc) you go to a big market, all under one roof - supermarketWww@FoodAQ@Com

A traditional market has a number of vendor booths selling products!.
The 'supermarket' combines all this under one roof with single cashier!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
