How is this good for consumers?

Arzan, having returned to the retail jungle, changed its format, or rather, its idea of it. Not a wholesale market, not a cash&carry, but rather a hypermarket with relatively low prices, like Magnum. In total, there are already five "Magnum types" in Almaty, two of which are A-Store and Arzat.
Three points on one line
The appearance of Arzan increases competition for residents conduit cn cell phone number list of the Aksay microdistricts. For them, within 5-10 minutes' reach (by car, without traffic jams) are Hit, Green, Magnum, Parad (in the Prime Plaza shopping center), METRO, a little further - Ramstore (in the Sputnik shopping center), Bravo (in the LuMir shopping center), Ramstore Hyper (in the Aport shopping center). It's time to issue separate discount cards for Aksay residents. Now Arzan has appeared, which will also have an almost monopoly on servicing Ahsel Kent residents and Car City visitors.
Consumer behavior is changing. "Weekend-car-bazaar" is being replaced by "weekend-car-Magnum (Arzan, A-Store)" and even "night-car-Magnum".
How might this affect competitors?
Everyone is trying to lower prices: the more economical Ramstore Hyper format, the current promotions on a wide range of goods in Realist and Bravo. Only the almost iconic Yubileiny and Stolichny can afford high prices, but even then, until the semi-wholesale Hit and Small have appeared nearby.
