What’s With All The Balloons In Supermarkets Recently?

My local Morrison’s has had a refit.
Previously, you walked into the store and you were greeted with fruit and veg, meat and other foodstuff.
So why have they still got the fruit and veg but plonked in the middle, is a new section filled with helium filled balloons? There is something for every occasion. You see people walking about with giant inflated animals or balloons with numbers on, on a string!

Why isn’t this balloon section situated at the end of the store and not plonked in amongst the foodstuff?

I go to a supermarket to buy food, so l find helium filled balloons in the midst, quite bizarre!
Maybe this is progression and l am out of touch?
What do you think?

No idea Art. Perhaps it's inflation.

We have plants and flowers in the entrance to ours, I think balloons go with the celebration type gifts of bouquets etc.

I know car dealers love a balloon or two. For some reason they think it attracts you to the cars on sale.
