Original Abstract

he number of supermarkets in Bratislava has rapidly risen in the past years. It can be considered as a successful business result, when the Slovak groceries market sees the entry of non-traditional sales forms such as communal gardens, farmer markets, and other alternative forms of grocery sales aimed to increase the access to groceries. In this context, the article focuses supermarket concentration and also evaluates supermarket locations in Bratislava from 2011 to 2016. To calculate the concertation of supermarkets in Bratislava relative entropy was employed, using data from supermarket network from 2011 and 2016 located in the of Bratislava. The special distribution of supermarkets within the city was evaluated using a geographic information system. Although, there were changes in the distribution of supermarkets in each part of Bratislava during the observed period, the results show that supermarkets sufficiently cover the city. The changes concern mainly moves away from the city's center further out to the city edges. These changes will continue and reflect changes in grocery demand, current healthy grocery trends, settlement changes and creation of new counties.
