WEEK 2 – Don Quijote
Don Quijote, the large chain has many locations in Hawaii and California, although the mascot and store facade are similar, there is a big difference in what is sold. Don quijote in Japan is known for having almost anything and everything and is relatively cheap, there are a lot of seasonal items, electronic gadgets, candies and snacks etc. The U.S. Don quijote is known more as a supermarket, selling fish, meat, fruits and vegetables. There are parts of the stores that sell various household goods but overall people go there for their weekly food supply. I guess you could say, Japan Don Quijote has a much larger variety and many different kinds of goods, while the US Don Quijote focuses more on the fresh foods aspect.
