  • 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. Eden, Auckland 1030, New Zealand Tel: +64 9 623 1848; Fax: +64 9 353 1515; email: [email protected] www.coriolisresearch.com PROJECT BACKGROUND This project has the following background − In June of 2006, Coriolis research published a company newsletter (Chart Watch Q2 2006): − see http://www.coriolisresearch.com/newsletter/coriolis_chartwatch_2006Q2.html − This discussed the planned opening of the first The Warehouse Extra hypermarket in New Zealand; a follow up Part 2 was published following the opening of the store.

  • J Sainsbury Plc Preliminary Results Announcement 2020-21 Wednesday, 28 April 2021 - 9:30 Am
    J Sainsbury plc Preliminary Results Announcement 2020-21 Wednesday, 28 April 2021 - 9:30 am Simon Roberts Chief Executive Officer Good morning. Welcome to our 2020/2021 results presentation. Thank you everyone for joining us today. It’s been an exceptional year for the business, for our people and in everything we've delivered for our customers. First and foremost, I want to recognise the outstanding contribution of my colleagues, of our entire team. They have risen to the huge challenges and have been heroic in how they have looked after our customers, and each other, every day. I’m really proud of the business and the part we played within the wider industry response, as food supply chains really stepped up to feed the nation. My thanks also to our suppliers for all their support and partnership. They have done a fantastic job throughout the last 12 months. Every day in every part of what we do, we cared about what mattered most for our customers, our colleagues and the communities we serve. Safety first, prioritising the elderly, disabled and vulnerable from day one, protecting availability, supporting shielding colleagues, supporting communities with food donation. Our values really came to the fore. And it’s been a time of extraordinary change, learning and agility for the business too. We have responded and adapted well throughout the pandemic. We have delivered at pace, every step of the way and as a result, we’re stronger & fitter for the future. I set out a clear plan and strategy in November to transform our busines over the next three years.

  • A Historical Look at the Shops – Past and Present in the Colchester Town Centre Area
    A HISTORICAL LOOK AT THE SHOPS – PAST AND PRESENT IN THE COLCHESTER TOWN CENTRE AREA 1 INTRODUCTION Having written about walking around our town and others over Christmas and the month of January, looking at churches in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk, the weekend of 1st and 2nd February 2014, saw me writing and photographing the main shops in our town of Colchester and trying to find out the National History of the businesses. So here is my story again …… 99p STORE (84-86 Culver Street East) 99p Stores Ltd. is a family run business founded in January 2001 by entrepreneur Nadir Lalani, who opened the first store in the chain in Holloway, London, with a further three stores opening later that year. In 2002, Lalani decided to expand the business throughout the UK and has rapidly developed 99p Stores, operating a total of 129 stores as of March 2010 and serving around 1.5 million customers each week, undercutting their main rival Poundland by a penny. As of mid-2009 the company offered more than 3,500 different product lines throughout its stores. Most of their stores are based in the south of the UK, although there are stores as far north as Liverpool and Hartlepool. The chain saw accelerated store expansion upon the collapse of Woolworths Group, where they took the opportunity to acquire 15 of these former stores, increasing their estate to 79 at that time. Landlords are now regarding 99p Stores as an anchor tenant due to the significant number of customers one of their stores can bring to a location.
