When this huge company get millions of dollars each year and their employers scanty can eat a little food every day.
Nevertheless when open a hypermarket like this a lot of people arrived to see what is new, how if this one was thematic park. When don’t have other option for leisure time the people is happy seeing what they can’t buy. This is world undeveloped where the society to see at an hypermarket an diversion park.
