While waiting for it to start, the people bought street foods from the marketplace next door. Combined with the food from people who sold things on foot, everyone had more or less something on their hands to chew before the program even began.
Soon, the gong ended and old Harold went out looking like the amicable old man that he was.
"Thank you for coming, everyone!" He said, extending his arms in welcome. "Our Gaea Food Stores has now officially opened a Supermarket!
"We welcome you to our very own Gaea Supermarket!!"
Harold smiled and waited for the applause to stop. "This is inseparable from your patronage, so thank you everyone!
"We promise to offer you a wider variety of products, many of which will surely please you. Perhaps, our products may even improve… everyone's lives. How, you ask? You will see very soon…"
