necesidades de precio y cercanía
Spanish to English
Bus/Financial
Business/Commerce (general)
Hi all, this is from a corporate presentation for a large Peruvian supermarket chain. I obviously know what this means... But how does one put it? "Price and proximity needs" doesn’t work, and I just can’t seem to nail it.
Peruvian Spanish to UK English. Thanks in advance.
CONTEXT:
“[Large Supermarket Chain] S.A. pertenece a un sólido grupo empresarial peruano XXX adquirido en el año 2004. Los diferentes formatos existentes se adaptan a los múltiples tipos de consumidores que existen en el país, destinados a cubrir sus necesidades de precio y cercanía.”

needs for competitive pricing and convenient locations
I think this is a rare case of actually needing to expand it in English, making it less abstract and spelling it out in concrete terms.
Another angle on it, anyway.

| Thank you kindly, Mr Ronder! I delivered this, pretty much word for word, a little earlier. It makes sense! |

Note from asker:
| Cheers for this, Edward. I seriously considered “value for money and convenience needs”, but the “convenience needs” thing at the end just didn’t do it for me. Great to hear how you handle “cercanía” though; the word gives me headache, and I disregard this option many times (convenience) |

value and access needs
destinados a cubrir sus necesidades de precio y cercanía = and are designed to satisfy their value and access needs
Try to nail it in the proper kind of language for a presentation. The idea of "cercanía" becomes "access".
