We will continue to roll-out the new formats across our store portfolio, incorporating all of the operational lessons we have learnt up to now and adapting them to fit the local market.

  • Somerfield Plc / Wm Morrison Supermarkets Plc Inquiry
    APPENDIX B Key aspects of the economic analysis for Stage 1 of the local competitive effects methodology Part 1 Introduction 1. Stage 1 of our local competitive effects methodology involves identifying a local market in which to apply a screening rule. The local market has a product-market dimension (ie which fascias and sizes of store compete with each other) and a geographic-market dimension (ie how wide their customer catchment areas are). This appendix summarizes four key aspects of the economic analysis undertaken at Stage 1. 2. Our findings are that: • the product market used at Stage 1: — should not include the LADs, ie Aldi, Lidl and Netto, nor Marks & Spencer; but — should include all stores of 280 sq metres (3,000 sq feet) or more (including one-stop shops); • the geographic market used at Stage 1 should use 5-minute drive-time isochrones for urban stores and 10-minute drive-time isochrones for rural stores; and • in circumstances where an acquired store’s local market share was higher pre- merger (ie where it appears to have faced less competition) its margins also tended to be higher, especially in rural areas. A corollary of this result is that the local markets for which acquired stores’ market shares have been calculated by Somerfield may be relevant markets, especially in rural areas. 3. The remainder of this appendix is organized as follows. Part 2 reports the results of an analysis of the impact on Somerfield and Kwik Save sales of the opening of various competitor fascias, which helps to define the product market (ie which competing fascias constrain Somerfield and Kwik Save).

Independent Study on Impact of the Groceries Order p.34 6. Arguments in favour of retaining the Groceries Order p.39 7. Arguments against retaining the Groceries Order p.77 8. Conclusion and Proposals p.95 Appendix A Report of DKM Economic Consultants Limited entitled “Economic Impact on the 1987 Groceries Order”. 1 FOREWORD One of the faintly bizarre aspects of the public policy debate on competition law is the passion aroused by the only left-over remnant of the old Restrictive Practices regime, namely the Groceries Order. Its best known feature is the ban on below invoice price selling (commonly, if somewhat inaccurately, referred to as 'below-cost-selling') and it is this feature which arouses the most controversy. However, as highlighted in particular in Chapter 6 within, some of the other provisions of the Groceries Order (such as those relating to suppliers’ terms and conditions and the ban on “hello” money, sometimes referred to as “fair trade” provisions) are also capable of generating controversy. A further peculiarity of the debate on the Groceries Order is that its legal status is such that it cannot be amended. It can only be either left intact or repealed in its entirety. As explained in Chapter 2 within, this is because the order was made under the Restrictive Practices legislation which was repealed by the Competition Act 1991.
