社评 0609  廉价商店变成新竉

廉价商店变成新竉


OO八年时期美国遭受経济衰退时期 许多人都跑到廉价商店去买东西 十多年后的今天 许多人在物价高涨及通货膨胀之压力下又跑到廉价商品去购物了


虽然目前物价上涨但是失业率极低 凡是想找工作的人都能找到工作和十四年前之情况是大大不一样 但是以目前百分之八点三的通货膨胀率油价和物价已经造成巨大之负担


廉价一元商店主要的客源来自於低收入家庭 由於経济下滑或物价上涨是廉价商店发展之绝佳时期


目前在全美各地的廉价商店有许多不同之品牌 大家都以一元美金為号召 但是目前真正一元美金可以买到的东西已经不多


在新冠疫情期间 货柜运输价格倍增供应鍊中断 使这些廉价商店叫苦连天 但是他们仍然可以比大商场之价格便宜很多


今天在全美各大城市之廉价连锁店都掌握在亚裔商人手中 他们和许多加油店共同経营 而且是集中在许多大型商场之中 面积不大 往往三俩个员工就可操作 成本相对低廉


这些廉价商店之產品多半是中国大陆製造 随着美国对中国大陆关税之增加 相对来货价也增加 许多商家之利润已大不如前


為了增加竞争力 这些廉价商店巳経遂渐走进郊区较富裕地区 希望寻求新的客源 对他们而言 可以在大型商场中争取一些客人能够买到价廉物美之物品


随着全球化时代之变迁及不确定性 世界面临能源及食物之危机 如果短期内无法解决 将会带来严重之后果



Dollar Stores Get More Shoppers


When the 2008 recession hit our community, many Americans started to rely more heavily on the Dollar Store retail chain to buy cheaper goods.


After fourteen years, a similar pattern is showing up. Shopping at the Dollar Store chain’s locations, many shoppers are trying to offset the cost of record high gas prices and the fastest growth in inflation in 40 years.


Inflation has surged with the consumer price index rising by 8.3 % in the past 12 months ending in April. This means the cost of basic essentials is eating away at people’s paychecks.


Since the Great Recession, many Dollar Store locations have grown faster than nearly all the other retailers, adding thousands of stores every year.


With gas prices at $5 per gallon, many people are trying to drive to nearby stores to do their shopping, especially for food items.


As the economy continues to spiral downward, more people will go to the Dollar Store and try to save money. Consumers are clearly feeling pinched by inflation and looking to stretch their dollars.


Today these Dollar Stores are mostly run by Asian businessmen. The stores are not too big and can be run by a few employees. Most of their products are made in China and because of the trade war between the U.S. and China, the duty on the goods has really made it difficult for them to have profits like before.


With the change and uncertainty of globalization, the world is facing energy and food storage problems. If these problems cannot be solved in the short term, it will have serious consequences for the whole world.
