Czechs love supermarkets

Czechs usually prefer shopping in big supermarkets, small shops are not so interesting any more.

Shopping Monitor 2009 from Incoma says 39% prefer big supermarkets or hypermarkets and only 12% go to small shops.
The first position takes Schwarz group that runs Kaufland and Lidl. The second and third position is shared between Ahold (Hypernova, Hyperalbert, Albert) and Tesco.
