A chain of stores that is open on Saturdays
The Super Pharm branch near my house is open on Saturdays, as far as I know as a pharmacy but I assume it sells all products. Is it a problem to buy at this store? (There are good deals there and also the Rav Kav claim) Thank you

In my opinion, there is no problem with this. If there are two equal options, then there is definitely an interest (not necessarily a halachic one) in buying from a store that observes Shabbat and does not employ employees on Shabbat (unless it is open only for Piko’n purposes, like the pharmaceutical section of a pharmacy). But when there is a financial loss, there is no need to do so. Of course, if working on Shabbat allows your sales, it can be problematic, but usually that is not the case.
