An Asian supermarket largely describes a category of grocery stores that focuses and stocks items and products imported from countries located in the Far East (example: East, Southeast and South Asia). Asian supermarkets carry items and ingredients generally well-suited for Asian cuisines and simply not found or considerably more expensive in most Western supermarkets, due to low turnover and small quantities. Most of these supermarkets are started and operated by Asian immigrant entrepreneurs and their families. (WiKi)
