Independent grocers, news-gents and off-licences could be wiped out by supermarkets in less than a decade,
….
The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Small Shops said independent
grocers, news-gents and off-licences could not survive the ruthless
discounting from Tesco, Asda and the other big chains.
Quote “Independent grocers, news-gents and off-licences could be wiped out by supermarkets in less than a decade,”
Reality“Customers will almost completely shun expensive and poorly run Independent grocers, news-gents and off-licences.”
Reality (part deux): not all independent grocers, news-gents and off-licences are more expensive than supermarkets. Many are less expensive. Not all of them are poorly run. None of them have enormous advertising budgets.
