Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The expansion aims to create up to 1,000 jobs and increase supermarket competition in underserved communities. Paddock to Pantry, which recorded a 197% sales increase over the past year, is transforming from a predominantly online operator into a national physical chain. The company also called for a government-backed Supermarket Growth Fund to aid independent operators.
