I believe that the time of such "cellar" shops has already passed. The shelf life of the products in them is usually expired. The choice of the product range does not meet the customer's demand, and the prices are no lower than the prices in supermarkets. And the most "important" thing is that a large range of different types of goods: food, perfumes, etc. are located nearby, lapped in a very small area of the store. And this is unacceptable and sometimes even dangerous for the health of the buyer. Such shops may be relevant far away in the mountains and remote villages, but not in the center of such a megalopolis as Samarkand. UNESCO recently recognized our city as the cultural capital of Asia. Probably it is necessary to think about the expediency and necessity of the functioning of such institutions. And I have a suggestion. At the Mazhilis of the Makhala committees, a decision should be made on the arrangement of small shops in full compliance with the requirements of the SNiP, trade rules and customer convenience. Otherwise, these stores must be closed.
