on notice. The government's announced a formal request for information
on supporting a supermarket competitor for parties to enter or
expand their offering on a national scale. It's expected this

could mean around sixty to seventy stores nationwide. Considerations also
include restructuring existing players in the market in a bid
to tackle the supermarket duopoly. Nikola Willis says barriers could
prevent a third player in the market, though intervention could help.
