Its market driven. Supermarkets and chains keep the costs the same across the country across similar size stores. That is policy. it is driven by competition and in effect by where the competition is fiercest. That will be exacerbated if there is a currency issue by chains pulling out, which they will do.

In a smaller independent market the pressure is released. Especially where the market is notorious for lack of enterprise. No only that they will be incurring extra administration costs and almost certainly much higher borrowing costs
