 Dick Smith Foods - CAN’T FIND OUR PRODUCTS IN YOUR SUPERMARKET?
This policy, which is being adopted by both Coles and Woolworths (who together have over 70% of the market place) is to free up supermarket shelf space to allow for the introduction of their own private label range.
In recent weeks the problem has been compounded by Coles suggesting to many of our manufacturers that unless they receive large sums of money by way of an up-front payment, which in some cases is up to $100,000, then they will no longer be prepared to carry our products.
Whilst we will continue to strenuously fight for Australian owned and made products to remain available on supermarket shelves, it will be extremely difficult to compete with the wealthy multi-national companies and the increasing power and domination being exercised by the major retailers.

 Carrefour’s Spanish performance bodes well for French revival   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
But supermarket growth was not restricted, resulting in a double whammy of small shopkeepers disappearing anyway and hypermarkets seeing their market share rapidly eroded.
Carrefour’s problem, according to GS, was that its existing Spanish supermarket unit, Simago, part of the acquired Pryca business, was in desperate need of restructuring, making it hard for the group to benefit from the impetus in the supermarket sector.
Still plenty of work to be done, then, in the Spanish supermarket unit, but with most of the groundwork already completed, GS predicts further price reductions in the coming year and a subsequent narrowing of the gap with the market leader.

 American Drama: A Toast to the Champion of High Comedy, Arthur Laurents   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Once upon a time, in the first half of the twentieth century, when theater was the biggest game in town, it was a supermarket: social realism down the block from sex farces, experimental dramas next door to musical revues, starring vehicles across the street from verse drama.
During the next fifty years, as we all know, television and movies took over most of those genres, and as a result the Broadway supermarket now has only one aisle left, for musicals plus a small high shelf in the back for plays of any kind and age.
One of the main staples in that long-ago emporium was what's known as "high comedy," the comedy of ideas, comedy with substance as well as style, comedy in its classic sense, riding on civilized discourse, gracefulness and resonance.
