Respondent: ALDI Stores Ltd
Agent: Planning Potential Ltd
Representation Summary:
ALDI, as an LAD, operates on low profit margins, and their business model is based on high levels of efficiency and low overheads to enable cost savings to be passed on to their customers. There appears to be a perception that food retailers can afford to pay equal CIL charges, and that the viability of all convenience retail formats would not be jeopardised. Whilst this may be applicable for the larger 'supermarket' formats typical of the 'Big 4' operators, it is not the case for discounters.
