Yep! And it's even more devastating in a place like Armenia, which was once held under the lifestyle of the communist era of the Soviet Union. For many of these market stalls, their entire income came from the community reliance on their fresh produce. Capitalist aspects of business weren't really a thing. So huge chains moving in even now is still a very new thing for the locals. But even so, its impact has quickly swallowed up much of that demand.
