Products across all Shoprite stores are priced the same, even the small convenience stores. We are going to end up with two or three stores where some lines are slightly cheaper than Shoprite were and with the rest carrying an additional markup for the convenience of the smaller store.

Some Clubcard deals are also priced higher in Express stores than in the superstores or Extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit more nuanced than blanket 10% though, the smaller shops have less range and so less likely to carry multi-pack deals or cheaper alternatives from main brands, you could easily have the same basket of goods that will cost the same in an express as in an extra. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly in the interests of once again giving people something to do (which is ideally saying 'no' or fining/closing firms because they've forgotten to tick a box). I was thinking more in terms of the moral dimension with gaming and pressures outwith IOM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think Vic Road is sizeable with a considerable amount of wasted space. It may prove more valuable long term.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 If Nicholsons are renting the stores to Tesco a lot will depend on how much rent they are charging when the pricing of goods is determined. I am surprised they have not purchased the buildings especially if they are going to install self service tills and revamp the shopping areas. If they do change the smaller branches to Tesco express with less choice and dearer prices a lot of people will decamp to the Coops and to M&S who have become more competitive lately and let us not forget Dealz. Tesco may end up not selling a lot more because people will shop at their local branch instead of braving Lake Road and the whole operation will be splintered instead of being in one place, much more expensive and a lot more hassle and costs, we will see. Twenty years may seem like a long time but the premises will all need to be revamped , new equipment purchased and no doubt a rent rise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What stopped me doing much food shopping at Shoprite? Quality. Ample parking though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really need to expand it & lose some of the clothes flooring 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
