Key Highlights
As might be expected, Walmart was the strongest performer of the top 10 hypermarkets, supermarkets and discounters in North America, but it was not the strongest performer in all areas.
Target was the top performer under the financial performance pillar. It also performed strongly under the scale and growth pillar. However, its performance in operational efficiency was weaker than the channel average.
Supervalu’s performance was weaker than the channel average in all areas. A trend of consumers shifting from Supervalu to discounters offering greater value was observed, and is expected to continue in 2011.
In 2007–2010, the top 10 hypermarkets, supermarkets and discounters in North America increasingly preferred to open smaller and fewer stores, driven by increased focus on space efficiency due to high rental costs and decreased consumer spend.
