Abstract: Commentators have made much of the end of the so-called ‘golden age’ of grocery retailing. The debate has focused on the approach of grocery superstore saturation and the influx of new competitive forms such as discount stores and warehouse clubs. As with any market challenge and change, there are corporate and spatial aspects and consequences of sector restructuring. In this paper attention is focused on the introduction of Shoprite into Scotland, and the consequent sector restructuring is examined from a variety of standpoints and scales.
