Xl spike definition6/24/2023 The Produce department – slightly lower first table with standard kit behind.įor a store of this size, the warehouse was tiny but the chiller was even smaller with very little backstock as everything is out on the shop floor. It’s hard to see this being for the customers benefit, it’s more to do with their falling sales rates. Morrisons with their stores of the future are switching onto this and removing the raft of secondary space sales drivers whereas Tesco are increasing their shipper coverage across the store. Wide, clutter free aisles enhance the shopping experience. It would be easy in a store of this size to sacrifice the customer flow somewhat and park a few pre-filled shippers across the store to increase sales. With the new store, it’s clear that Sainsbury’s have designed the stores around customer flow by offering wider aisles and a clutter free shopping experience without stacks, shippers and dumpbins on every corner. The Co-Operative do a lot of Fairtrade but their wider offer isn’t there. ‘our values make us different’ – does it put money in the till?ġ00% British pledge certainly does, I’ve seen customers only buy Produce from certain areas in the UK! Justin King has generally achieved everything he set out to do, the only concern is operating margin and the profitability longer term, and of course – what happens when the highly successful King moves on to pastures new. Sainsbury’s have their principles and generally they are rigid in sticking to them, sourcing British, being ‘values’ centric and offering great food at fair prices. It’s a bit like the ‘one in front’ promise that Tesco have for queues, let’s be honest, in many Tesco stores you’re lucky if it’s not 10 in front. Making the stores a great place to shop is something that is pure lip service in many of the retailers, they say it but many don’t believe a word. Strong availability has underpinned the chains recovery. When you look at the project Liberate that Morrisons are undertaking, culling poor selling lines is something that Sainsbury’s have been doing on an ongoing basis for 8 years now. The yearly category reviews are phenomenally powerful in terms of removing poor selling lines and continually offering innovation via new products. The big thing about Sainsbury’s growth has been the stellar performance within the business, standards are generally very good across the estate, corporate plans and planograms are followed through and routines are followed and availability is vastly improved from those dark days via Sir Peter Davis. So good is the system at forecasting gaps and issues that colleagues are now instructed to only scan gaps (out of stock items) in store rather than low levels and hours operating the stock control department have been hugely reduced.Īvailability has underpinned the entire business recovery from 2004 when Justin set out his plans but the wider company has improved across the board. ‘by Sainsbury’s’ – Bold move with Sainsbury’s putting their name to their products.
