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. Tings 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-throughgeneration sort of business. Besides selling normal daily items, the shop do offer special services such as ; having a delivery service from the shops 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 customers 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. Tings 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. Tings brother then decided to think and to venture on different strategic places and locations that are able to promote growth for the shops 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. 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 its 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.FNBE APRIL 2013 | Semester 2 (SEPTEMBER 2013)ENGLISH2 | ENGL0205 8. 8 (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. Murus grandfather and is as well a family business. MrMuru took over his grandfathers 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 peoples windshield, condominium notice boards, and elevators. It also has a big orange sign to attract peoples 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. FNBE APRIL 2013 | Semester 2 (SEPTEMBER 2013)ENGLISH2 | ENGL0205 9. 9(C) NEWS STAND SDN BHD News Stand Sdn. Bhd. has been opened for about 20 years ago but moved to Taylors 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. 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.FNBE APRIL 2013 | Semester 2 (SEPTEMBER 2013)ENGLISH2 | ENGL0205 11. 11Compare and Contrast Essay Grocery stores are shops which sell lot of groceries to consumers for example food and household 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 they have many similarities, there are stilla few 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. Tings brother is the one who started this business and after that pass it to his other brother, Mr. Ting for the 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. 12competitors 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 around the area are gone for holidays, and the main customers of this shop are the people staying in the condominium, so during the holidays, this shop cant 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 Tings siblings started to thinking of a new place. So Tings 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 itplaced in Sunway is because of the resident and also that area is lacked of grocery store and automatically there wont 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. Its 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 treat them as friend.FNBE APRIL 2013 | Semester 2 (SEPTEMBER 2013)ENGLISH2 | ENGL0205 13. 13Conclusion, 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 difference so it shows that no matter where the grocery store is, they are still doing the same service to ward customers. Although there are some difficulties faced by them, they are still strong hearted to maintain their shop and make sure it is in the good condition.FNBE APRIL 2013 | Semester 2 (SEPTEMBER 2013)ENGLISH2 | ENGL0205 14. 14Comparative 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.FNBE APRIL 2013 | Semester 2 (SEPTEMBER 2013)ENGLISH2 | ENGL0205 15. 155.

NotenoughcustomersparkingbecauseforlimitedParkingwillproblemsasnot thebeamainparking slots are availablecustomers will be studentsnear the shopthat are walking around the Syopz Mall.6. Based on your analysis, which business is more commercially successful? And why? SavemartSdnBerhad, 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.FNBE APRIL 2013 | Semester 2 (SEPTEMBER 2013)ENGLISH2 | ENGL0205 16. 16Recommendations Based on the comparative analysis, to improve the competiveness of the business, SavemartSdn 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 dont 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 couldnt get what they were finding for. To solve this problem, they could sell more varieties of stuff that we couldnt 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.FNBE APRIL 2013 | Semester 2 (SEPTEMBER 2013)ENGLISH2 | ENGL0205 17. 17Bibliography 1) About grocery store, retrieve from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grocery_store 2) History of supermarket, retrieve from http://www.groceteria.com/about/a-quick-historyof-the-supermarket/ 3) Benefit of grocery store , retrieve from http://msue.anr.msu.edu/news/create_a_family_of_products_for_successful_grocery_stor e_sales 4) Definition of grocery stores, retrieve from http://www.astrology.com/dreams/grocerystore/2-d-r-154492 5) The Truth About Grocery Store Flyers, retrieve from http://www.thesimpledollar.com/the-truth-about-grocery-store-flyers/FNBE APRIL 2013 | Semester 2 (SEPTEMBER 2013)ENGLISH2 | ENGL0205 18. 18Appendix Interview Questions with Answers Shop Name: SaveMartSdn Bhd.Date: 06/2/2014Time: 11:30am to 11:50am(1) How long since the business has been running??

It's owned by shareholders, we have 3 shareholders.FNBE APRIL 2013 | Semester 2 (SEPTEMBER 2013)ENGLISH2 | ENGL0205 19. 19 (5) So it's all the shareholders siblings?? or are friends?? Haha, good guess. It's all siblings. (6) Well besides selling stuff, What kind of specialty do your shop have?? We have the delivery service from the shop's check out.
