Tesco is the largest grocery retailer in the UK, measured by reported turnover, and has 779 stores (excluding a number of small stores recently acquired from TandS stores) with an average sales area of about 2,800 sq metres.
Tesco said that the issue critically depended on how many national players were thought necessary to maintain competition, but that if a reduction from four to three was consistent with this, then Tesco was well placed to provide the benefits which the acquisition of Safeway could bring.
The imbalance in the respective bargaining positions of Asda, Sainsbury’s and Tesco and their respective suppliers will be especially exacerbated by the acquisition of Safeway by any of those three grocery retailers because, generally speaking, suppliers are likely to secure less disadvantageous terms with four national grocery retailers than they would with three.

Tesco have always accepted coupons from others co's (eg a former Safeway in Sheffield has been converted to a Waitrose and they have dished out £3/£5/£10 vouchers to John Lewis cardholders in Sheffield).
Tesco don't even want their customers to try out waitrose so they accept these vouchers.
Tesco's are further battering Sainsburys because the latter is a basket case and people prefer to shop where stock is available on the shelves rather than in some new computer controlled warehouse.
