Word origin
The concept of the supermarket as we know it today originated in the early 20th century in the United States. The first true supermarket was opened by Michael J. Cullen in 1930 in Queens, New York. It revolutionized the way people shopped for groceries by offering a wide variety of products at affordable prices in a self-service format. The supermarket model quickly spread across the world, becoming a staple of modern shopping culture.
