than “large grocery retailers,” they can prevent large rivals from opening nearby stores.Tesco, Morrison, Asda and Waitrose, meanwhile, cannot prevent other large supermarkets from setting up shop nearby, because they are classed as large grocery retailers.This “regulatory gap” could enable Aldi and Lidl – who are currently the UK’s fourth and sixth largest supermarkets – to grow their market share at a faster rate than their competitors, Sainsbury’s
