The Impact Of Modern Retail On Traditional Shops: A Case Study In Wonokerto

Initially, the modern retail business mainly focused on major cities in Indonesia. However, with technological advancements and economic growth, modern retail has now reached the countryside. In many strategic places, such as Wonokerto Sub-district, for example, several modern retail outlets such as Alfamart and Indomaret have been established. The presence of these ultramodern retailers has had a significant impact on the girding of traditional retailers. Grocery store owners such as Mr. Supri and Mrs. Yatin have experienced a decrease in turnover as many consumers have switched to modern retail. However, it is not all bad news for traditional retailers. Some of them are suitable to survive in the face of decreasingly fierce business competition. This exploration aims to understand the competition between ultramodern and traditional retailers, focusing on a case study of Alfamart and Indomaret against girding small shops in Wonokerto District, Pekalongan Regency.
