konradpuss:
If you like food you should always attempt to chose the items yourself.
Home delivery and click and collect should be discouraged amongst
healthy active people.
Perhaps there should be a tax on it like a sugar tax.
Its just generally a bad and unhealthy way of life.

spot, why are you so sure?

I switched to 'click and collect' and will never go back. A Tuesday slot at £1.50 - Tesco mind!

Asda to accelerate strategy:


A key element of Asda’s future strategy is its partnerships strategy to create more compelling retail destinations. In a post on LinkedIn, senior director of corporate development and partnerships Matt Harrison, highlighted the latest developments:

The launch of 100 In the Style stores from the online fashion retailer.

Three more Decathlon stores launched with a smaller numbers of bays, testing the potential to bring a more compact Decathlon offer to more Asda stores.

Claire’s, the young fashion accessories brand, will be in over 200 stores by the end of the month while Accessorize will test in a bigger shop-in-shop proposition at Asda’s flagship Minworth store.

musicMagpie has now been launched at 200 Asda stores and a further announcement is in pending.

Sainsbury’s launches new tagline, Helping Everyone Eat Better

The brand has dropped its long-running line Live Well for Less for a new emphasis on healthy eating, for both us and the planet.

The new positioning is created by Wieden + Kennedy London, and features an exuberant new commercial with a voiceover by Stephen Fry.

With the work, Sainsbury’s aims to stress that its offering is both good for people but also for the planet. The spot, directed by Filip Nilsson, features striking and colourful shots of healthy food alongside the black-and-white imagery with orange branding that we’ve come to know from the brand in recent years.

The emphasis of this new campaign is part of a series of moves that Sainsbury’s has made towards being more sustainable. The brand has made a commitment to reach net zero by 2040 in its own operations, and is also committed to developing and delivering healthy and sustainable diets for all. It will report on its progress with this twice a year.

“Working with Sainsbury’s we’ve evolved the brand to have more of a point of view on their products, on the planet and on the health of their customers,” says Darren Simpson, creative director at Wieden + Kennedy London. “Together we’ve got to a place where we’ve retained the strong visual brand but moved it into a place where the Sainsbury’s voice stands out across all channels. It feels good to be playing our part in helping our clients make a positive impact on customers’ lives.”

QIA sold 9.99% of Sainsbury's (40% of their holding) to VESA for 50% plus less then they paid for the shares in the first place.

The conclusion I come up with that the QIA have a better place to deploy this money rather than keeping it in Sainsbury's and/or they think that for some time to come the Sainsbury's share price will not go much higher from here.

By trying to build a retail empire, the Issa brothers are sounding and acting more and more like the billionaire Philip Greene, who loved constantly being called the billionaire Philip Greene and we all know what's happened to him and his retail empire over the past few years - notice how the Issa brothers are now constantly having the monica of 'billionaire' put before their name as though it makes then more important than other people.


The billionaire Issa brothers and new owners of Asda have reportedly become the largest outside investors of sportswear brand Castore.

Reports also suggest Castore will open five new stores over the next six months.

Castore, which has a brand partnership with Andy Murray and a kit deal with new Scottish Premiership champions Rangers.

It now sells products in more than 50 countries worldwide and its revenue is expected to reach £100million this year.

The company currently has retail stores on the King's Road in London and within the Liverpool ONE scheme in the city centre.

The news of the Issa brothers reported investment in Castore comes after the billionaire siblings were told by the CMA to close 27 petrol stations to complete their Asda takeover.

Carluccio’s and Sainsbury’s are teaming up to test out three new in-store concepts for the first time:


The first format will be a coffee shop in Sainsbury’s St Albans superstore, offering customers eat-in as well as takeaway options. Caffè Carluccio’s will open on 3rd June and will be the first Carluccio’s to open in a supermarket.

The 900 square foot coffee shop will have space for up to 45 customers to sit and enjoy the brand’s signature real Italian coffee, iced coffees, Cremosa blended drinks and granita fruit ices alongside all-day breakfast foods and light-bites, including freshly made ciabatta sandwiches, toasties, filled croissants and pastries. A range of Carluccio’s retail products will also be available including biscuits such as biscotti and cantucci, ground coffee and gianduiotti chocolates.

In addition, a Carluccio’s Counter will also launch in June in the Sainsbury’s Leamington Spa superstore, offering the brand’s trademark deli products and pizza. Deli products include pasta, olive oils and sauces alongside chilled stone-baked pizzas. Hot ready-to-eat items, including made-to-order pizza and rotisserie chicken will be available to take-away, as well as for delivery via Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat.

The third concept being trialled is the Restaurant Hub, a multi-brand offer with grab-and-go and delivery options from brands including Caffe Carluccio’s, GBK, Slim Chickens, Harry Ramsdens and Ed’s Easy Diner. The Restaurant Hub will open in July in Sainsbury’s Selly Oak superstore.

Carluccio’s was acquired by Boparan Restaurant Group in May 2020. Sainsbury’s and Boparan Restaurant Group will listen closely to customer feedback in all three stores before deciding any next steps.



Rhian Bartlett, Food Commercial Director at Sainsbury’s, said: “We’re testing these new offers as part of our plan to put food back at the heart of Sainsbury’s – bringing even more innovative and delicious food and drink to our stores. This is the first time we’ve worked with Carluccio’s and we’ll be listening closely to see what shoppers think of the different concepts, which also include GBK, Slim Chickens, Harry Ramsdens and Ed’s Easy Diner.”

Supporting the brand will be Carluccio’s first app, allowing ordering, delivery, menu access and location finding as well providing users with a loyalty mechanic.

A supermarket chain dubbed the “Russian Lidl” is opening its first stores in the UK this summer - and claims to be cheaper than any other store.

Svetofor, which was founded in Siberia but trades under Mere in Europe, says it costs up to 30 per cent less than other budget shops like Aldi.

The Russian chain has 3,200 stores internationally and opened its first European Mere store in 2018.

Speaking to trade magazine The Grocer, Pavels Antonovs said Mere prices will undercut even the cheapest supermarkets.

“Our model is no service and no marketing.” Each store in the UK will have just 8 staff, counting a director, four cashiers and three delivery workers.

Mere stores are expected to double up as warehouses, with images from other sites across Europe showing items displayed on palettes.

Suppliers are also expected to deliver straight to the shops, which will each be about 10,000 sq ft.
