Commerce | n. m.
A consumer-goods store covering less than 2,500 square metres and operating on a self-service system.

Example

The problem with olive oil is that it is extremely difficult to find high quality 100% extra virgin olive oil at your local supermarket and if you do, it will be very expensive. Most of the oils sold at supermarkets in the US are mixtures of various kinds of oils that are designed to reduce cost and increase profits.

Additional information

The main products sold in supermarkets are foodstuffs and cleaning and household products, although they also offer a wide range of other products (ironmonger y/hardware, gardening, stationer y, small domestic appliances, etc.), which are classified by sections or departments.
