The fruit and vegetable section of a supermarket is usually located at the entrance to give an impression of freshness and colour, while in a hypermarket, it is located furthest from the entrance to ensure that shoppers walk through the whole store to get to it. Photo: Filepic

Most probably go to the same one for most of their household needs, and are as familiar with its layout as the back of their hands. They might even know exactly which shelf in which aisle usually holds their favourite products.
