What is a hard discount?
Hard discount is a retail store format distinguished by prices at least 20% lower than the local competition, making it the cheapest shopping place in the market. Importantly, these significant discounts on products are not temporary promotions, but permanent prices. Vollmart ensures this by optimizing trading processes and foregoing costly, often unnecessary equipment, advertisements, and promotional flyers.
Goods in a hard discount store are placed directly on pallets, and customers can take them straight from the boxes and collective packaging. This saves valuable employee time, translating into financial savings for the employer. As a result, he can further reduce the prices of the available goods. Shopping straight from the pallets is thus at least 20% cheaper than with the local competition.
The modern hard discount store Vollmart mainly offers food products: food and drinks, but its assortment also includes cosmetics, hygiene and cleaning products, and household industrial items. Thus, customers can purchase everyday necessities at very competitive prices. The hard discount Vollmart’s assortment includes goods mainly from local producers, but consumers will also find brands from international suppliers.
How does a hard discount differ from a supermarket?
Hypermarket, supermarket, discount store – these terms are often used interchangeably. However, this is a mistake, as each of these terms denotes stores of different formats. They differ in several factors, the most important of which is the area.
Discount stores, including hard discounts in Poland, are usually characterized by smaller areas (Vollmart stores are about 1000 m2), although sometimes they can be as large as supermarkets. Supermarkets, on the other hand, are considered stores with a maximum retail area of 2500 m2. Hypermarkets are stores larger than 2500 m2.
Another important factor differentiating Polish food markets is the display of products. Discount stores typically focus on a narrow range of goods and the lowest possible prices. They most often offer food products, although the cheapest hard discount Vollmart also has other types of products in its assortment. Supermarkets offer food and a wider range of industrial products. In contrast, hypermarkets have almost everything – from food, cosmetics, household chemicals, to electronics and textiles.
Where can you make cheap food purchases?
If you are looking for the lowest prices and a market that is close and “handy”, it is best to choose shopping from pallets at the hard discount Vollmart. There you can make the cheapest food purchases, as well as buy goods from other assortments – cleaning agents, basic types of cosmetics for everyday use, and industrial items.
