Traditional retail is still very valid today in our society. And it is true that during the COVID-19 alot of the traditional retails were affected.

I love the traditional retail business because it has numerous advantage, so every day I pray for those into that kind of business so that it won't close down or be affected by any kind of circumstances like in the case of COVID-19

REASONS WHY I ENJOY SHOPPING AT TRADITIONAL RETAIL

There numerous reasons why I like to shop at this particular retail shop called olawasco ventures.

• The products are of high quality yet very affordable for me any time of the day.

• I like to see with my eyes first hand what I want to buy, a couple of times I had ordered things on line based on pictures I saw, but when it got to me, that was not exactly what I saw on the picture online. So traditional retail gives me the opportunity to see what I want to buy before making any payment.

• The owner of the business has establish an environment were he listens to the complains of customers and make adjustments to it.

• I have an opportunity to make choice from the varieties of products available at the store.

• I can make a part payment deposit for a product to be kept for me and it will be kept, until I make the full payment.

CONCLUSION

In Traditional retail, customers or consumers have the liberty to express their likes or dislikes to the business owners directly.

You don't have to pay for delivery because you go there yourself to pick your products.

Just Incase you visit the city of Lagos in Nigeria and you want to shop for your foot wears, I recommend olawasco ventures. The address is seen above.

In all traditional retail business can not go into total extinction because their are some products that must be traditional retailed especially here in my country. Examples of such products are fresh tomatoes and peppers with fresh vegetables.
