The biggest UK supermarket chain has reported profits up 17% on last year. Should supermarkets be allowed to do what they like, or should more controls be introduced to stop corner shops closing?

Stop supermarkets growing too much, but more importantly stop Oil companies and Banks growing too much.
At least you get what you pay for with a supermarket. With banks you are ripped off at every turn and the oil companies have us all by the balls.
Its not fair.

I think the bad thing about supermarket growth is that the more afluent chains are diversifying into more and more and more and more markets that's suffocating the other shops that the supermarkets are infringing on.
It's great that you can get everything all under one roof for a competivly priced price, but, the people they're competing with (take pharmacies) can't cut prices and people then don't go and their sales slump.
Obviously, super markets cater to the mass markets and if you want specialist foods and high end products that cost the earth than you need to go to shops that sell specialist products that cost the earth.
I do feel sorry for the outlets that aren't supported by a national corporation that sell to a crowded mass market.
