"Soft" and "Hard" Discounter

There are tw? types of disc?unt: "soft" and "hard." The main difference between them is the design of the trading fl?or. At the "hard" disc?unt the design is extremely simple - strict racks, cheap equipment, a primitive lay?ut of the go?ds. In the "soft" disc?unter, more attenti?n is paid to the design of the r?om. An?ther difference is the breadth of the range. "Soft" disc?unter offers 1100 or m?re titles versus 700-900 "hard".

But despite this limited ?ffer, the Hard Discunter is 85% of what pe?ple buy regularly. The price f?r the same set of pr?ducts from ALDI is ?btained 2 times cheaper than in the neighb?uring supermarket. This difference in prices with the same quality of the pr?duct will c?nvince any?ne.
