LOOSING GROUND TO RIVALS

included the rejection of loyalty cards, the reluctance to move into non-food retailing, the indecision between whether to go quality or for

value, the sometimes brutal treatment of suppliers"which led

to suppliers favouring Tesco over Sainsbury's Value to shout about- A 1998/1999 campaign fronted

by John Cleese which was widely claimed to be a major mistake

For much of the 20th century Sainsbury's had been the market leader in the UK supermarket sector, but in 1996 it lost its place as the UK's largest grocer to Tesco

Key success factors

Business strategy & objectives

Sainsbury’s five areas of focus are underpinned by its strong values and culture, as well as their commitment to operational excellence. They put the customer at the heart of everything they do, aiming to make the lives easier every day by offering great quality and service at fair prices.

Great food

Fresh food remains central to Sainsbury’s business and its success. It is a key battleground for UK supermarkets, with today’s savvy shoppers having high expectations about the quality, value and integrity of their food, particularly fresh produce.

Compelling general merchandise & clothing

Its general merchandise and clothing businesses continue to grow faster than its food business and continue to gain market share. As they develop store estate, they have expanded ability to offer non-food. Now they have 161 stores selling larger non-food offer, 22 more than last year.

Customers now have far more choice of how, when and where they buy. Sainsbury’s business is both influencing and benefiting from new and interrelated customer choices. At Sainsbury’s, this could mean a large supermarket shopping trip balanced by more frequent and local top-ups, with the option of ordering online, from a range of devices, either for collection or delivery.
