With 18 Stores in London... 14 more in the UK... and 8 in the US... Can't see it being a Pop-up... ??

Yes, I thought that too Jeremy. Perhaps these are the deep pockets they've been after!


I didn't realise they had that many outlets DF. I agree its less likely they'll be a pop up, though businesses like Brissi with a few outlets have done pop ups in the old ED Deli site.


Let's see how they get on. I think they'll probably make a killing.

Pop-ups tend either to be seasonal (so Christmas special products, or products in an area which might buy during a specific season but where 365 day trading couldn't be sustained) or be used as try-outs for specific business models (or shop lay-outs). Neither of these feel like a credible strategic option in this case. However a pop-up can also be used to determine general demand in an area, without too much outlay for leases etc. This is possibly the case here. [Pop-ups are also used to shift product bought-in i.e. in a fire sale etc., but obviously not the case here].

    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
