They have some prime retail sites and a good brand. Prime acquisition territory for an Aldi or another retail group to buy and take Tescos market share with. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already. Aldi or lidl have no intention of coming to Iom so why the media keep mentioning them is a mystery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is the politicians fault, even when it's clearly nothing to do with government. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, unless Aldi and Lidl decide to buy Shoprite the company, (and why would they when their goodwill far exceeds that of Shoprite?), there will be no goodwill to take into account. There may be a premium included in the price because of the site, but that is to do with the value of the asset not the goodwill generated by the Shoprite brand. I don't think aldi or lidl have much record of takeovers. They seem to go for new sites with new buildings that meet their standard layout.

Well the way IOM Enterprises/Shoprite value themselves they would probably be seeking a merger with one of the big supermarkets rather than a buyout... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Translation please 7 hours ago, The Voice of Reason said: Well there are obvious acronyms like WTF, or IIRC, but you can’t just make them up and expect everyone to decipher them. FTW has been in the Urban dictionary and the Merriam Webster dictionary for twenty years or more. It's as equally well known as WTF or whatever. It's internet speak innit, and we're on the internet. If you don't know the meaning then just open a browser window and see what it means, just the same as you would do for anyone other word that you don't know the meaning of. It's not hard.

They’d buy it, and pay for goodwill, at the right level, for things like instant market entry, location, shutting down competition, market share, customer base. And if Morrisons bought Shoprite and rebranded ( like they did with Safeway ) it’s still an ongoing business. Goodwill can be profit related, but in these type of situations it’s also about the intangibles as well as the real estate. But I agree it’s not the brand, which is, after all another intangible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
