英國的超級市場已經成為寡頭市場,連鎖超級市場之間也存在著持續的“價格戰”。
英國的不同超市,價格都不同。有一些是獨特超市,所以僅在某些地區或城市才可以找到。 根據超市的位置,規模也會有所不同。而且大多數的超市都有網上送貨服務。也有網上超市,例如 亞馬遜,也提供送貨服務。
在倫敦和曼徹斯特這樣的大城鎮中,超市通常位於市中心,並且較小。大型超級市場通常位於遠離市區的地方,例如城鎮邊緣,並且會提供更多產品。位於市中心的連鎖超市通常會比其較大的城外超市貴一些。
The supermarket industry in the UK has become an oligopolistic market and there are some on-going ‘price wars’ amongst the chain supermarkets.
There are a range of differently priced supermarkets in the UK. Some of the supermarkets are more exclusive and can only be found in certain areas or cities. Depending on the location, the size of the supermarkets will vary and most of them offer online home delivery. There are also online supermarkets e.g. Amazon, which also provide home delivery.
In large towns and cities such as London and Bristol, supermarkets are usually more centrally located and smaller. Larger supermarkets are usually found in less urban areas, such as the edge of towns, and often with bigger range of products. Some supermarket chain stores located in city centre are often slightly more expensive than their larger out-of-town ones.
