Extended information

Supermarkets first appeared in New York, USA in 1930. In August 1930, American Michael Cullen opened the first Golden Cullen Union store in New York State. At that time, the United States was in a period of great economic crisis. Michael Coulomb accurately designed a low-price strategy based on his decades of food business experience and pioneered the commodity category pricing method.

His average gross profit margin was only 9%, which was astonishing compared to the 25-40% gross profit margin of general stores in the United States at that time. In order to ensure a low selling price, the purchase price must be low. Only a large number of purchases can lower the purchase price. Michael Coulomb opened branches in a chain manner and established a sales system to ensure a large number of purchases. He pioneered self-service sales. The method adopts one-time centralized settlement.
