Abstract

[spa] Grandes áreas alimentarias : El reinado de los « hipermercados » - Las grandes áreas alimentarias están de enhorabuena. Cada ano este sector de la distribucion incrementa su puesto en el mercado : en un 18,6 % del conjunto de los productos comercializados, esta ahora al 20,6 % en 1985. . Todos los tipos de áreas no experimentan lo mismo. En partes de mercado, la pequena tienda de ultramarinos tradicional, meluso transformada en autoservicio retrocede desde hace tiempo ante los nuevos grandes comercios distributives. Mas, desde hace poco tiempo, los propios supermercados van perdiendo terreno ante los « hipermercados ». . Cuanto mayor es el establecimiento mâs elevado es el rendimiento. Valorizado en giro por metro cuadrado o por empleado, el rendimiento de la « superette » es inferior al del supermercado el cual se révéla menos puera de lo corriente que el hipermercado. Estos très tipos de almacenes, al parecer, pertenecen, no obstante a la misma familia. El « supermercado » no es más que une gran « superette », mientras que el « hipermercado » es un supermercado que supera los 2500 métros cuadrados. Tal no es el caso de los almacenes populares, cuyos rendimientos son diferentes de los demás establecimientos de alimentación general. [fre] Les grandes surfaces alimentaires ont le vent en poupe. Chaque année, ce secteur de la distribution accroît ses parts de marché : de 18,6 % de l'ensemble des produits commercialisés en 1983, elles sont passées à 20,6 % en 1985. . Tous les types de magasins ne sont pas logés à la même enseigne. En parts de marché, la petite épicerie traditionnelle, même transformée en libre service, recule déjà depuis longtemps devant les nouveaux grands de la distribution. Mais, depuis peu, les supermarchés eux-mêmes perdent du terrain devant les hypermarchés. . Plus la taille des établissements est élevée, plus les rendements sont forts. Évalué en chiffre d'affaires par mètre carré ou par employé, le rendement de la supérette est inférieur à celui du supermarché, qui lui même se révèle moins performant que l'hypermarché. Ces trois types de magasins semblent cependant appartenir à une seule famille. Le supermarché n'est qu'une grosse supérette, alors que l'hypermarché est un supermarché qui aurait dépassé les 2 500 mètres carrés. Ce n'est pas le cas des magasins populaires, dont les rendements sont différents des autres magasins de l'alimentation générale. [eng] Large food stores : the reign of the hypermarkets - Large food stores have the wind in their sails. Each year, this distribution sector has increased its share of the market : from 18,6 % of total commercialized products in 1 983 to 20.6 % in 1985. . Not all stores are in the same situation. Where a share of the market is concerned, the small, traditional grocery store, even when converted to self-service, has for a long time been declining in the face of the new large forms of distribution. Recently, however, supermakets themselves have been losing ground to hypermarkets. . The greater the size of the establishment, the higher the yield. Evaluated according to turnover per square meter or per employee, the yield of the self-service grocery store is lower than that of the supermarket, which in turn performs less well than the hypermarket. These three types of store seem, however, to belong to the same family. The supermarket is only a large self-service grocery store, while the hypermarket is a supermarket generally larger than 2,500 square meters. This is not the case of working-class stores whose yield is different from other general food stores.
