The introduction of a supermarket regulator is one of the top priorities for convenience store operators.
The Association of Convenience Stores (ACS) carried out an on-stand vote at the Convenience Retailing Show (CRS) earlier this month, inviting members and other retailers to have their say on the things government could do to support the retail sector.
The introduction of a supermarket regulator was third in the list of priorities, behind the reduction of business rates and the abandoning of the ban on tobacco displays. Halting increases in the minimum wage was also voted in the top five.
ACS chief executive James Lowman said: “It is clear that retailers care passionately about the way that taxes and regulation affect their business. We will take this message to government.”
