This work is intended to analyze how the small supermarkets of the Parque Mambucaba neighborhood, located at Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, are maintaining their competitiveness, on the local market through the entrance of large supermarket chains. It is the goal of this article to verify in what strategic level the small traders are working. Theoretical structure was constructed from the applicability of the theory of Miles e Snow (1979) in the area of small enterprises in the food industry, as well as in the use of two strategic strategies defined by De Wit e Meyer (2010).
