I suspect it's because the hypermarkets aren't commonplace here in the Northeast. Oddly, my first trip to a hypermarket was in Ottawa, Canada* several years ago, where a Loblaws had supermarket, bulk items area, optometrist, clinic, gym, daycare centre, bank, and community meeting rooms. It looked leagues better than any of the markets here in New York, and the employees were helpful, knowledgeable, and food tasted slightly better... *Gloucester Town Centre if you're anal in the former city of Gloucester. The mall has its own stop on the Transitway, but the majority of the patrons traveled via cars. |
