The not-so-super-markets
So I wake up this morning to the news that there should be more supermarkets up and down the land.
I don’t know whether this is a good or bad thing. The big four, Morrisons, Tesco, Asda and Sainsburys have become very competitive – which is good for the consumer who gets more for their money, but there is a flip side to this competition and it’s something thats happening just around the corner from me.
The crazy aquisition of land for the sole purpose that another store can’t locate nearby. One of these big four is doing exactly this in my home town, sitting on precious land and doing nothing with it purely to prevent anybody else building on it.
The Government’s answer is to assist the big four in creating more edge-of-town developments in an attempt to quash this über-competition – is this the answer?
Do we need more supermarkets?
