    Warehouse could go into Aldi discount type supermarket format, just leave it on pallets. They are freeing up lots of space by no longer selling DVDs etc.
    Spent a lot of time shopping in Lidl when in the UK. Something like that could do well. The supermarket sector in this country really needs a massive shakeup.
    The likes of Lidl will not come here themselves because the market too small and remote.
    Something needs to be done, as our supermarkets are among the most expensive in the world, we all being shafted

    Totally agree. The prices we pay in our supermarkets are an absolute rip-off. When I have visitors from rich countries like Austria or Denmark they cannot believe what prices we have to pay even if you factor in that we live at the end of the world. A duopoly doesn't constitute a competitive environment.

    I put in a bid via Jarden Direct to buy some of the Foodstuffs WHS sell-down. I got two thirds of my order at $3.27 each.

    Will be interesting to see the opening SP on Monday.

    VERY CHEAP. I am quite surprised they would sell at that price. They must have a very different view than I do about the future of the company.

    It's a rather illiquid stock. Maybe inclusion into the nzx 50 will help.

    Thanks Beagle. I hope your view is the correct one.

    Maybe theyve been looking to get out for a while and cutting their losses after it's gone up a fair bit. Who knows what they want the capital for but then their bread and butter is groceries and not stock investing.
