Fast forward three years, and food retailers have become villains, responsible for ratcheting up prices. UK government proposals for supermarkets to voluntarily limit prices on basic food items are particularly unnecessary and unworkable. French food retail is also fiercely fought with two large private players Auchan and Leclerc SA, as well as Aldi and Lidl too. It’s more brutal across the channel in the UK, with strong national chains and the German discounters still expanding aggressively. They can’t get too comfortable as their costs subside, though, with Aldi and Lidl continuing to snap at their heels.
