'Ready for retail' (#317) had a glaring omission: the Bhatbhateni supermarket. It is larger than some of the supermarkets profiled in the article, and is constantly expanding. I have been shopping there since it was the one-room Bhatbhateni Cold Store and remain impressed by the wide selection, low prices, and friendly atmosphere created by the owners and staff. Also, since it hires so many staff, it is a valuable source of employment in Kathmandu.
