I went to see the Arena Tesco the weekend before last, and I just didn't realise how big it is. It's 17 aisles, each three times as long as a "normal" supermarket aisle, plus areas for TV's, clothing, opticians, etc. We can't say that we have choice when one company controls 30% of the market.
There is a public forum coming up in London, on 28th February, on "Supersized Supermarkets: a global dilemma" with speakers such as Tony Juniper, Rosie Boycott and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. It's at the Emmanuel Centre, 9-23 Marsham St, London, SW1P 3DW.
