A grocery store is a kind shop which sell lot of groceries to consumers for example food and
other non-food items. There are two types of grocery store which is large grocery store and small
grocery store. Large grocery stores that stock products other than food, such as clothing or
household items are called supermarkets. Some large supermarkets also include a pharmacy and
an electronics section, the latter selling DVDs, headphones, digital alarm clocks, and similar
items. Small grocery stores that mainly sell those daily necessities such as dry raw food, fruits as
well as a variety of other household items. There are known as produce markets in U.S
or greengrocers in England and those stores which predominantly sell those sneak such as candy
and snacks, are known as convenience stores. The size of the grocery store is less than the
wholesale or wholesale markets. Every village and township there are often have at least a
grocery shop to facilitate local shopping. A grocery shop usually require for those area which has

Research Essay
(A) SAVEMART SDN. BHD.
Savemart has been running for about 30 years now, located at SS2. The sole purpose for this business
was to earn enough money to sustain an affordable lifestyle. This business started off by Mr. Ting’s
brother 30 years ago and was taken over by him 15 years back. It is a family business. Although he runs
it, the shop is owned by three shareholders. As it is a family business, the shareholders are his siblings as
well! They have shares for this company is run in the family. It is somewhat like a pass-down-through-
generation sort of business. Besides selling normal daily items, the shop do offer special services such
as ; having a delivery service from the shop’s check out. Which is- after the customers have paid for their
items, their workers will help the customers to carry their goods to their vehicles to reduce the customer’s
burden as customer service. Very few companies offer this service and this shop is one of them.
When asked who were the main customers, they were customers from around the area to where the shop
is. Which are, the residents around this area. This is because it is convenient and nearby for the residence
as well as driver-bys or passerby-s to just hop or pop in to get something that they really do need as this
convenient stall provides a lot of things.
The business first started off with Mr. Ting’s brother running a sandwich shop at another part of Petaling
Jaya. They then realize that the spot was not strategic enough for business growth. Because of that, Mr.
Ting’s brother then decided to think and to venture on different strategic places and locations that are able
to promote growth for the shop’s business. After looking around and evaluating the places enough, and
getting enough feedback, he eventually settled to a place where he foresee eventual growth in terms of
population. Right enough, as the years passed, the residential area near to the shop he opened started to
FNBE APRIL 2013 | Semester 2 (SEPTEMBER 2013) ENGLISH2 | ENGL0205
7
become more condensed as the number of houses started to increase as well as roads. Because of that,
demands towards daily needs started to increase and that is when they started selling things other than
sandwiches to fulfill the needs of the residence.
“Promoting is not much la, but it’s more like a personal service.” Mr Ting said when asked how he
promotes his shop. He also added that although he is the chief of the shop, he does volunteer and
participate in maintaining the organization of the items by arranging the shelves. He also greets the
customers with a smile as though they are his friends to provide a positive environment for the customers
to feel pleasant and at ease. This act of friendliness and hospitality is something that Mr. Ting is very
proud of. By providing and having this positive vibe and service, bonds are made between him and his
customers. Therefore, the customers feel more approachable and open towards him. As the customers are
treated like dear friends, they do not feel intimidated to give feedback to Mr. Ting about the service if
there are any problems. This is a good thing, according to Mr. Ting as his shop gets to learn and be open
towards feedback in order to improve themselves. There is also a personal bond between the boss and the
customers as compared to big chains.

(B) KK MART
Although KK Mart is a big chain like 7E, this stall owner being interviewed has bought the licensed from
its franchise. This business has been running for about 21 years to date. When asked what was the
purpose for the business, it was simply to provide convenience for the residence of the place and also
goods and basic needs that cannot be found within the same area to lessen the burden of the residence.
This business was started off by Mr. Muru’s grandfather and is as well a family business. Mr Muru took
over his grandfather’s business as he did not have any education or interest in studying. Therefore, this
shop and job was good and enough for him to earn a living.
Although the shop KK Mart is a franchised shop, the chief and people running it are within the family
and have been passed down through two generations. When asked who were the main customers, the
customers were from around the area to where the shop is. For example, mothers and their children
buying certain necessities and groceries, men buying cigarettes and drinks. This place was convenient for
them to go as it was nearby and has mostly anything they need.
The reason why this place was chosen to open the business was because, this location did not have any
similar shops as to this shop. Therefore, residence could easily get their daily needs and necessities from
this shop without having to travel far to grocery shops as this is a shop in the suburb.
This place promotes their business by using flyers on people’s windshield, condominium notice boards,
and elevators. It also has a big orange sign to attract people’s attention.
The main threats to this business happens mostly during the holidays when a lot of the families staying
around the area are gone for holidays as they are his main customers. Therefore, during the holidays, the
number of customers visiting his shop decreases.
Lastly, when asked if there are any future plans for this business, Mr. Muru says that he is fine and
contented with this business and is comfortable in it.

(C) NEWS STAND SDN BHD
News Stand Sdn. Bhd. has been opened for about 20 years ago but moved to Taylor’s Universiry when
this university first opened in the year 2010. When asked what was the purpose of this shop, it was as
simple as to earn a sustainable and fair enough income and to also provide the people basic necessities
that they need. This shop is located in the University as well, that is why, it is convenient for students to
go and buy the things they need rather than other convenience stores out side of campus as students do
need things last minute for their assignments.
As this too was a family business, Mr. Raj chose to continue it. It is also a self-earned company and was
passed down from his father to him as his other siblings have other jobs as well. This shop sells various
things from magazines, to snacks, to pencils, to shampoos. It has everything that one wants or needs to
get.
The main customers are of course, students and lecturers and occasionally parents or people visiting this
university. Most of the students go there to buy stationeries or bread, as well as cigarettes. Those are
what sells the most.
Mr. Raj choice this place to open his business as the place before did not have good safety. As this
convenience store is located in the campus itself, there is provided safety and shelter as it is an enclosed
area. Secondly, there is a good amount of customers each day to come by to buy things that they need. It
is also easier for them to buy the things as they do not have to go out from campus to buy all of these
basic things.
Business is promoted really effortlessly as it is located at the Boardwalk. Students and lecturers, as well
as visitors walk along the Boardwalk everyday and, when one needs to buy something, they will walk into
the shop to buy it. It is as simple as that. Furthermore, Mr. Raj have small talks and conversations with his
FNBE APRIL 2013 | Semester 2 (SEPTEMBER 2013) ENGLISH2 | ENGL0205
10
customers to provide a friendly and good atmosphere and a bond with his customers. Good customer
service always promotes good business.
There are threats that Mr. Raj do face when carrying out this business on campus. The threats are
competitions. For example, 7-Eleven is opened nearby and students would go there more often as it has a
more well known name and is opened 24/7. Secondly, students would choose to buy stationeries from the
stationery shop nearby. Other than competition, the absentees of students and public holidays also causes
a threat to his business occasionally when the campus is empty.
Well, as we know that there is a 7E and also a stationery shop nearby, and students would go to the
stationary shop to buy the stationeries instead of this shop. Same goes to the other basic necessities as 7E
is a more known name for a shop and it is open 24/7.
Lastly, Mr. Raj is very pleased with where he is now and do not have any future plans at the moment.

Compare and Contrast Essay
Grocery stores are shops which sell lot of groceries to consumers for example food and
other non-food items. The grocery shops that we have chosen are also generally selling the same
thing but they are place in different places which is SS2, Sunway and Taylor Lakeside Campus.
Although there have quite many similarities but there are still have some differences.
There are many different kind of reasons why they start the business for grocery shop. By
comparing these three shops , we can see that Savemart which place at SS2 has been organize for
30 years, since 1984. This was a family business which has 3 shareholders and they are all
siblings from the same family. Mr. Ting’s brother is the one who started this business and after
that pass it to Mr. Ting for the continue 15 years. The reason why this Savemart was organized is
similar to Rasa Newsstand which is because Mr. Ting needs income to take care of this family.
Whereas Rasa Newsstand grocery store which place at Taylor Lakeside Campus Broadwalk
opened since 2010 is also because of income and also can provide simple daily necessities to the
students. Finally, as for the KK mark which place at Sunway was opened since 1984. The reason
why this KK mark is still open is because the boss of this shop wanted to provide convenience
for residence of the place, providing goods that cannot be found within the same area.
Secondly, in particular these three grocery stores have their own threat since they start to
work on. Unfortunately, Savemart and Rasa Newsstand have faced the same threat which is the
competition between other grocery stores that place at the same area. For example the
FNBE APRIL 2013 | Semester 2 (SEPTEMBER 2013) ENGLISH2 | ENGL0205
12
competitors of Rasa Newsstand is 7-eleven and also the stationary shop beside it. As we know
that 7-eleven is open for 24 hours every day and definitely students will choose 7-eleven
compare to Rasa Newsstand because it is much more convenient. Besides, the KK store has its
own threat which is during the holidays, a lot of the family staying here are gone for holidays,
and the main customers of this shop are the people staying in this condo, so during the holidays,
this shop can’t get much customers and income.
Next, location is also play a big role in this because good location definitely can attract
more customers compare to bad location. The reason why Savemart was opened at SS2 is
because Mr Ting and his brothers ran a sandwich shops at another part of PJ, but business was
sort of like a matured phase where a very less chances for the business to growth even more due
to its location. Thus, three of Ting’s siblings started to thinking of a new place. So Ting’s brother
could foresee SS2 will eventually growth although that time is just still a few shops and a few
houses. Time passes and the residential areas got condensed, so the demands towards daily needs
increase, so their business soon growth from time to time until today. As for KK mart in Sunway,
the reason it placed in Sunway is because of the resident and also that area is lacked of grocery
store and automatically there won’t be much of competition in the area. In the other hand, the
reason of Rasa Newsstand place in Taylor Lakeside campus Broadwalk is because It is a safe and
secure place and the safety here is good. Secondly, there is a great amount of customers which
are the students and the lecturers to come and buy things that they need. It’s also easier for the
students and lecturers as they do not have to go out from campus to buy all of these basic things.
Moreover, these three shops have the same way to promote their shop which is communicate and
being warm hearted toward customers and threat them as friend.
FNBE APRIL 2013 | Semester 2 (SEPTEMBER 2013) ENGLISH2 | ENGL0205
13
Conclusion, all three shops has their own differences and similarities which is the reason
of opening this store, the threat that they have faced the location and the way they promote their
shop. As we can see that, the similarities between them are much more than the different so it
show that no matter where the grocery store is, they still doing the same service to ward
customers. Although there are some difficulties that face by them, they are still stay strong to
maintain they shop and make sure it is in the good condition.

Comparative Analysis of the Businesses’ Competitive Traits
1. Number of competitors in their respective geographical markets.
2.
2. How do the businesses compete with their competitors? What strategies were/are
employed and how successful are they?
Firstly, provides services like delivering goods to the car in order to make customers to
feel confident about their work attitudes. Secondly, do small talk with the customers and
get to know them more thus they will be friends more than just customers.
3. What are the obstacles faced by new businesses who wish to enter their markets
today? Are they easy or difficult to overcome? Why?
(a) Customers will hardly go to visit to the newly opened grocery store.
(b) Hypermarkets such as Tesco, Jusco will be the biggest competitors for the newly
open grocery stores.
4. What is the nature of their markets? (e.g. perfectly competitive, oligopoly,
monopolistic ocompetitive) and your justifications?
The nature of their markets is perfectly competitive. This is because the stuff that could
get from their shops are almost similar as it is all household stuff and some basic
stationaries. Groceries store can be found in almost everywhere but what different them
is the size of the company/organization. It could be as small as a self-owned shop until as
big as Tesco hypermarket. Well, in this case the shelf price for small scale grocery shops
will have more expensive prices compared to hypermarkets.

5. Summary table of similarities and differences between the 2 businesses
SAVEMART RASA NEWSSTAND
Similarities
a. Selling the similar products
b. Bosses are close to the customers
Differences
Had Different Problems.
Not enough parking for
customers because limited
parking slots are available
near the shop
Parking will not be a
problems as the main
customers will be students
that are walking around the
Syopz Mall.
6. Based on your analysis, which business is more commercially successful? And why?
Savemart Sdn Berhad, which is located at SS2 is more commercially successful. The
reason for it to be more successful is that the location of the shop is more suitable for
grocery store to be at as SS2 had a lot of residential areas and the potential of walk in
customers will eventually have a higher rate compared to the rest of the two companies.

Recommendations
Based on the comparative analysis, to improve the competiveness of the business,
Savemart Sdn Bhd. should have run some promotions more such as festive deals during festive
seasons. The deals can be discounts or maybe cash rebate vouchers to attract more customers to
their grocery stores. Besides that,the business will gradually decrease due to inssuficient parking
lots nearby to the shop. Thus, Mr Ting should also consider renting a few parking lots from the
local authorities so that his customers don’t have to be troubled just to look for parking lots.
As for Rasa Newsstand, They should try to go bigger as well rather than just staying as a
small company. This sometimes will create inconvenient to the customers as they sometimes
couldn’t get what they were finding for. To solve this problem, they could sell more varieties of
stuff that we couldn’t find at the other stores in the syopz mall to be an attraction.
The KK Mart is also facing the same problem with Savemarts, as they have inssuficient
parking lots as well. But not just that, KK Marts always faced securities problems as shop lifting
and burglary happens from time to time. KK Marts could consider hiring a security team to
patrol around the shop during late nights and they could move to a safer place where the
neighborhood has lower crime rate compare to the place it sits in now.

Haha, good guess. It's all siblings.
(6) Well besides selling stuff, What kind of specialty do your shop have??

The main customers are usually the residents around this area.
(8) Do you know why did your brother chosen this place to start off the business??
That one you have to ask him haha, but i could guess that before all these, we were running a sandwich shop at another part of pj.

This way the customers feel we are more approachable, so if they have complaints (towards goods and staff) they can always direct it to me, which this kind of thing can hardly find in other shops. Compared to those big chains, instead of meeting the boss, customers can only deal with the supervisors or people below the boss.

Yeah, i'll try to search around the suppliers if i could get it or not, if there's stocks, i'll definitely get it for them (the customers) just as a service for the neighborhood to save up their troublesome to venture around to find that thing that they want.
