Meanwhile in #France an interesting spat in #retail:
French supermarket giant Carrefour has decided to stop selling #PepsiCo products because of unacceptable price rises on their range(s).
It will be interesting to see how this plays out... how will customers react to a well-known brand not being available & which side will cave first?
More interestingly, might any lessons be drawn about how UK #supermarkets might use (or perhaps have been using) their oligopolistic position on pricing?
