Show Notes
In 2023, Sydneys Alexandria residents protested as Woolworths transformed their big supermarket into a smaller Metro store, sparking a city-wide trend. Now, clear Metro lines run through Sydney and Melbourne, hitting wealthy areas. While locals grumble about higher prices and fewer fresh options, experts see it as a strategic move to capture urban market share and block independents. Coles Locals follow suit, tailoring stock to local tastes but keeping prices higher. As chains eye more conversions, everyday shoppers navigate this divide, balancing convenience against cost in their evolving grocery game.
