From the Paper:

"There have been so many significant developments in retailing since the 1970's that collectively, they have been referred to as a 'revolution'. These changes include the shopping behavior of customers; the organization of the retail industry; the character of the shopping environment; the planning policies of local government; and most important of all, the introduction of new retail outlets. The major development covered here concerns the growth of 'discount retailing'. A number of discount retailers have established themselves in the UK since the early 1990's and one of the most successful has been the German retailer Aldi. This essay shall deal with recent trends within Aldi's UK operations and the company's strategy for increasing market share, together with the wider implications of Aldi's presence."
