27% of retailers would SAVE

Article Abstract:

According to a survey carried out by Independent Retail News, 27% of independent retailers would participate in the Sainsbury SAVE scheme. The scheme allows independent retailers to stock Sainsbury own-brand products, and those backing the project cited that the goods would be cheaper than current suppliers and quality would be better. However, 55% said that they would not want to take part in the scheme, maintaining that they would not want to promote Sainsbury's goods and that the prices would be uncompetitive.

Asda is to increase its Farm Stores range to about 350 products. Sainsbury and Safeway have said that they are not going to extend their ranges but confirmed the importance of them to the stores' strategies.
