AB  - The expansion by grocery retailers in the UK has been a subject of much
speculation and continues to raise questions about the scope and format
of future investment in new stores. Suggests that a more dynamic
perspective of the strategies of individual retailers is central to
understanding this issue. Examines competing perspectives of locational
change and suggests that retail potential needs to be defined locally
not just with reference to the quality of retail floorspace but also to
the strategic objectives of competing organizations. Such a perspective
highlights how the format and locational choices of competing retail
organizations themselves might serve to blur the boundaries of local
market potential. Illustrates this with reference to an exploratory case
study of the evolution of grocery retailing in two UK cities, Cardiff
and Manchester. Highlights the implications of the changes in competing
formats for the stability of the local retail system and identifies some
related research issues.
