    Hypermarket Lessons for New Zealand a Report to the Commerce Commission of New Zealand

    Hypermarket lessons for New Zealand A report to the Commerce Commission of New Zealand September 2007 Coriolis Research Ltd. is a strategic market research firm founded in 1997 and based in Auckland, New Zealand. Coriolis primarily works with clients in the food and fast moving consumer goods supply chain, from primary producers to retailers. In addition to working with clients, Coriolis regularly produces reports on current industry topics. The coriolis force, named for French physicist Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843), may be seen on a large scale in the movement of winds and ocean currents on the rotating earth. It dominates weather patterns, producing the counterclockwise flow observed around low-pressure zones in the Northern Hemisphere and the clockwise flow around such zones in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the result of a centripetal force on a mass moving with a velocity radially outward in a rotating plane. In market research it means understanding the big picture before you get into the details. PO BOX 10 202, Mt.

During the year we refitted 73 stores including opening two new concept stores at Wimbledon and Woking. Our four New Safeway formats have now been launched at: • St Katharine Docks – convenience store • Wimbledon – supermarket • Woking – superstore • Plymstock – megastore In the first week of the current financial year, we opened two additional new stores in Reddish, Greater Manchester, and Carnforth, Lancashire. Added to the work we did in 2000/1, we have now refitted and relaunched 121 stores, equivalent to 26% of our total selling space. 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.

  • Anticipated Acquisition by Asda Stores Limited of Two Stores from Co-Operative Group Limited

    Anticipated Acquisition by Asda Stores Limited of Two Stores from Co-Operative Group Limited

    Anticipated acquisition by Asda Stores Limited of two stores from Co-operative Group Limited ME/4357/09 The OFT’s decision on reference under section 33(1) given on 23 December 2009. Full text of decision published 6 January 2010. Please note that the square brackets indicate figures or text which have been deleted or replaced in ranges at the request of the parties or third parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality. PARTIES 1. Asda Stores Limited (Asda) is a national grocery retailer, operating primarily one-stop grocery stores. 2. The Co-operative Group Limited (CGL) is the UK's largest co-operative with a diverse range of activities including the operation of banks, funeral services, farming, pharmacies and food retailing. This case involves CGL's food retailing business. TRANSACTION 3. Asda proposes to acquire the following two stores from CGL: • the Somerfield store at 80 Townhead Street, Cumnock, East Ayrshire, KA18 1LG and • the Somerfield store at 99 The High Street, Kings Heath, Birmingham, B14 7BW (together, the Target Stores). 4. Asda notified the transaction to the OFT by way of Merger Notice which was deemed complete on 2 December 2009. The statutory deadline is 4 January 2010. 1 JURISDICTION 5. As a result of this transaction Asda and the Target Stores will cease to be distinct. The UK turnover of the Target Stores is less than £[70] million, so the turnover test in section 23(1)(b) of the Enterprise Act 2002 (the Act) is not satisfied. 6. Asda has submitted, in line with the approach of the Competition Commission in Tesco/Slough Co-op,1 that its post-acquisition share of net sales area for all one-stop stores in Kings Heath, Birmingham is [more than 25] per cent, and that its post-acquisition share of net sales area for all grocery in Birmingham is [more than 25] per cent.
