  • The Endgame in European Grocery
    THE ENDGAME IN EUROPEAN GROCERY EXPECT HALF AS MANY LARGE GROCERS IN EUROPE BY 2025 THE ENDGAME IN EUROPEAN GROCERY EXPECT HALF AS MANY LARGE GROCERS IN EUROPE BY 2025 Against a weak economic backdrop, old growth models based on store expansion, national consolidation, and diversification are no longer delivering the like-for-likes board members and investors want to see. As well as a saturated marketplace, there is increasing competition from discounters and newer online retailers like AmazonFresh. In response, we believe that the European grocery market will begin consolidating internationally so that, by 2025, the total number of large grocers in Europe will have halved. Weak demand, a decline of traditional growth engines, and the aggressive growth of specialist competitors such as discounters (Exhibit 1) will continue to drive the next ten years’ of change in European grocery. As the pressure mounts, expect to see more headlines about price wars, stock value erosion, races to form buying alliances, and even the occasional market exit. With this in mind, we think there are four questions grocers should be considering today to ensure a successful future, listed below and explained in more detail in the rest of the article: How can we deliver a step change in our approach to cost? 1 Cost leadership is becoming a necessity. How can asset productivity be increased? 2 Only business models with high levels of asset productivity will survive. What are our options to grow internationally? 3 Scale matters – and international growth is one of the few ways to drive scale. What more could we be doing to hold on to and build 4 customer relationships? With new competitors on the scene, increasing the ‘stickiness’ of customers is crucial.

  • Why Food Waste Is Becoming a Revolution? Putting the Bin out of Business Could Be Good for Business November 2017
    Why food waste is becoming a revolution? Putting the bin out of business could be good for business November 2017 This article was written by Léonore Perrin from “We are Phenix” a successful French social company born in 2014 who helps businesses to turn waste into wealth by unleashing the potential of surplus products. L’Institut du Commerce asked “We are Phenix” to explain to the ECR Community the current waste initiatives’ landscape in France. Since 2017, l’Institut du Commerce embodies the Efficient Consumer Response in France. The association supports its members (manufacturers, retailers and service providers) to work together to better fulfill the consumers’ needs. More precisely, it provides them with the perfect framework to build collectively tomorrow’s businesses thanks to a better understanding of the deep changes occurring for the shopper, the supply chain and the retail (data, environment, technology…). There is an urge to eradicate waste in our societies. The circular economy is a basic yet revolutionary approach that could transform tomorrow’s production and consumption. L’Institut du Commerce is proud to announce the launch in December 2017 of a new working group entitled « Circular Economy: How can retail have a positive impact »? Each year, an estimated 1.3 billion tons of food is lost or wasted globally. That’s over a third of the world’s food production which is thrown away, somewhere between farm to fork. In the European Union it is estimated that 11% of food losses and waste occurs at the production level, while 17% at the distribution level. From food banks to food aid organizations, food redistribution is not a new thing.

  • Amazon and Casino Group Strengthen Their Partnership in France and Announce the Deployment of a New Service with Casino Stores
    Paris, 3 june 2021, Amazon and Casino Group strengthen their partnership in France and announce the deployment of a new service with Casino stores Building on the success of the commercial partnership between Monoprix and Amazon in March 2018, Amazon and Casino Group are strengthening their alliance to continue to make daily life easier for French consumers, by bringing them a new click and collect service with Casino brands. The aim is to offer Amazon customers an even wider selection of food products across France, and to introduce new customers to the food e-commerce expertise of Casino chains. For more than three years, Amazon and Casino Group have been working together to deploy new solutions to make their customers' daily lives easier, including express food delivery services and the provision of parcel collection points. This new phase is in line with the partnership established between Casino Group and Amazon in March 2018. Currently, Monoprix and Naturalia shops, available on Amazon.co.uk for Prime members, cover 70% of the population of the Paris region as well as the cities of Bordeaux, Lyon, Nice and Montpellier. More than 9,000 Monoprix and Naturalia items are available on the Amazon website for free two-hour delivery on purchases of €60 or more. In addition, 600 Amazon Lockers are deployed in the Group's shops (Casino Supermarkets, Monoprix, Casino convenience stores, etc.) and several new installations are planned for the coming weeks. On the strength of these results, Amazon and Casino group will soon be rolling out a new click and collect service with Casino stores in France.

  • Anticipated Acquisition of 99P Stores Limited by Poundland Group Plc
    Non-confidential ANTICIPATED ACQUISITION OF 99P STORES LIMITED BY POUNDLAND GROUP PLC RESPONSE TO PHASE II STATEMENT OF ISSUES 9 JULY 2015 LON37045457/6 163772-0005 POUNDLAND GROUP PLC Response to the CMA’s Statement of Issues This document is Poundland Group plc’s (Poundland) response to the UK Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA) statement of issues of 25 June (Statement of Issues) regarding Poundland’s proposed acquisition of 99p Stores Ltd (99p Stores) (the Transaction). Please note that this document contains Poundland confidential information and should not be shared with third parties absent Poundland’s express prior written consent. 1. Executive Summary 1.1 Poundland welcomes the opportunity to provide the CMA with its input on the CMA’s Statement of Issues. 1.2 Poundland believes that the evidence strongly supports the view that this transaction does not pose any risk to competition. On the contrary, Poundland considers that the merger will be pro-competitive – bringing a superior proposition to 99p Stores’ customers, and further enhancing competition along the High Street. 1.3 In particular, the evidence shows that: (a) Poundland competes in a competitive marketplace everywhere it operates. Poundland competes all along the High Street: all of the products that Poundland sells are either available at a supermarket, at a limited assortment discounter (LAD), at another value general merchandiser (VGM), at a specialist retailer or at an independent discounter. Customers are value conscious – they want more for less, can easily switch retailers and do not display any ‘fascia loyalty’ in their quest for value. (b) There is no variation of the offer across the Poundland estate.
