Scott Garber reflects on the positive aspects of the markets in Flushing city (New York). According to the author, the markets of Flushing are adored by everyone in New York because of their fresh food and reasonable prices. The main street of Flushing resembles that of Manhattan. Garber is relieved to see Burger King in Flushing as it brings positivity to the market. The prices of the supermarkets in Flushing are reasonable and affordable. The emulsification of Chinese-American culture is reflected in the market. A major population of Flushing consists of Chinese immigrants according to the 2010 census of population. The aspects which make Flushing an important marketplace are the easy access to the two main airports, major expressways, twenty bus lines, and a train station.
The positive shopping experience and Chinese culture is the major prospect of Flushing. Chinese culture is evident in the food sections of these markets. The difference in prices (Affordable) is the major feature for the crowding in these supermarkets. Therefore Garber is compelled to visit and study one of these supermarkets, the Golden City supermarket. Jin Cheng Fa Chao Ji Shi Chang (The Golden City Supermarket) is located seven-block away from the main street of Flushing. The Golden City market is one of the few supermarkets with English translation. Garber visits Golden City on Saturday afternoon thinking it to be the ideal time. Unfortunately, he could not interview the employees of the supermarket because of the crowd. He planned to visit on Tuesday night again. This time, the overall situation of the supermarket was calm and he got the chance to interact with the cashiers, the meat section guy, and a stock-piling employee. Chinese employees were friendly, hardworking, and interactive. According to the interviews with the employees and the customers of Golden City. The main preference for this market is due to the availability of parking and affordability. Garber highly recommends everyone to visit Flushing supermarkets to experience Chinese culture.
