So many small stores have to face massive competition from internet giants, operating from warehouses but I wonder in the UK if the biggest threat is now from supermarkets.
A couple of months ago I visited the Tesco store in Purley, Surrey and was stunned at the two floor configuration with escalators for pushing the trolleys up and down and the vast variety of products from car parts, electrical products to furniture - almost literally the one stop shop. The prices were at worst equal to internet stores and many prices were cheaper than Costco etc or second hand goods via eBay! Now one of the supermarkets has commenced taking on the local estate agents, obviously figuring that there is a lot of window space to display properties and a large captive market coming there anyway. I note that the new K10D is stocked by Tesco..... Malcolm -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
