“Why is there so many Tesco’s in Leicester’s city centre, I have counted at least four of them in an area of around just one mile. There is one near the train station, one just off Granby Street, one opposite Argos and the council offices in central Leicester. I feel there needs to be a law to stop Tesco taking over the supermarket monopoly. There is a new Sainsbury’s near the train station and one old Sainsbury’s near the job centre, then one towards the Golden Mile. There is no Asda, at all and a CO-OP in the Haymarket, with Iceland across the road. Tesco by far have the most outlets with the city centre. I personally feel this is not fair on the other supermarket chains and refuse to shop there because of this. Do others feel Tesco’s are taking over the supermarket chains?”
“Taking over the supermarket monopoly? What monopoly is that, you've already mentioned competitors - which means it's not a monopoly. Could demand be the reason they have such a market presence?”
“@ Shush What market? Tesco's are a company not a governmental shop...explain? Any business aims to be profitable, if not it isn't much of a business is it...!”
“I feel the moon would have a Tesco on it if it was allowed…Tesco have taken the opportunity to maximise the retail food market and must be to the max of their 40% market owned?”
“It's useful when Tesco is next door to Aldi, as in Syston. That way I can do my main shop at the cheaper Aldi and anything I can't get there (which is very little these days) I can nip next door to Tesco for.”
