		Budgens is planning to convert its 172 grocery stores to a franchise ownership structure by 2007, according to an announcement by parent company Musgrave.
		Budgens is planning to open about 20 convenience stores a year, as part of a strategy by new parent Musgrave to double the size of the business over the next five years.
		Budgens is to relaunch its B2 convenience store in Pimlico, central London, with major changes to the range and an interior refit, and then expects to roll out the new concept to the rest of the chain.

		Budgens has been a firmly established community food retailer for over 125 years and is recognised for its support of Local Producers and Great Local Deals in the Community.
		Budgens stores now cover more than 25 counties, including London, with over 800,000 square feet of retail sales space, 6,000 staff and serves over 80 million customers a year.
		Throughout recent years, as more out of town superstores have developed and high streets abandoned by many of the major multiples, Budgens has continued to open stores serving the local community and to offer customers the opportunity to purchase excellent quality fresh foods with a comprehensive grocery offer within the convenience of their local neighbourhood.

		BUDGENS have been trading in Bourne for more than 20 years, initially in antiquated surroundings at premises in West Street, now the Superdrug store.
		There is no doubt that the opening of Sainsburys has had a significant effect on Budgens’ business in Bourne and indeed it is a typical scenario for towns and villages all around the country.
		Despite what has gone before, Budgens have become part of the commercial life of Bourne and their loss would be a major blow.

		Furthermore, I am concerned that unless companies like Budgens make it clear to their suppliers that they wish to produce foods, like cheese and milk, from animals fed a non-GM diet, non-GM ingredients for food could become scarce.
		If Budgens doesn't send a strong signal to farmers in Brazil, where most non-GM soya is grown, that it wants non-GM soya for animal feed, there will be nothing to stop farmers switching to growing GM soya, which is being heavily promoted by the GM industry.
		It is crucial that Budgens plays a key part in finding solutions to reducing our dependence on soya, such as supporting British farmers to grow animal feed on their own land.
