Instead of buiding Colesworth-style supermarkets and competing with their duopoly, they could focus on warehousing shelf-stable, non-perishable essential items:
UHT Milk (dairy and otherwise)
Bulk bags of pasta, dry grains and legumes
Flour, sugar, cocoa and similar basic baking supplies
Cordial/Juice/etc
Cookies/Biscuits/Crackers
Nuts and seeds
Canned/Jarred/Dried veg and fruit
Toilet paper, soap etc
That way they don’t have to worry about refrigeration or freezing in their supply chain and can just store things. They can set up shop anywhere not having to build a massive building with cold rooms and elaborate air conditioning like regular supermarkets. They could even send things out through regular post or delivery, not having to use refrigerated trucks and time-dependent systems like Colesworth do.
Honestly I’d be happy if they stabbed them in the arse by legislating any foods that are within 48 hours of Best Before must be sold at or below 10% standard price. Fucking 50c off expired meat get fuuuucked
