This link will open in a new window One Stop Stores (formerly T&S Stores) operates 500-plus One Stop convenience stores in England and Wales. The chain is owned by the UK's #1 supermarket operator, Tesco PLC , which bought the 870-store T&S chain to bolster its own convenience store business. Since the acquisition, about 400 of the company's shops have been converted to its parent company's Tesco Express format, which focuses on fresh food sales. Tesco sold the Dillons chain of newsstands, which it acquired as part of its £519 million purchase of T&S Stores, to TM Retail, and also the Supercigs chain to better focus on its convenience store business. Founded in 1975, T&S Stores was acquired by Tesco in January 2003. To read the full description, subscribe now.

Competitive Landscape for One Stop Stores Limited
Demographics and small business growth drive demand, and spending in warehouse clubs generally resists economic cycles. The profitability of individual companies depends on high volume sales, low-cost purchasing, and efficient distribution. Large chains dominate the market due to advantages in purchasing, distribution, and finance. Average annual revenue per employee is about $304,000. Warehouse clubs have grown rapidly. Industry sales increased at an annual average rate of 35 percent between 1998 and 2008, compared to 16 percent for all general merchandise stores. The number of warehouse club stores more than doubled between 1998 and 2008, with expansion coming at the expense of grocery stores and department stores. Warehouse clubs differ from superstores by requiring a membership to shop. Superstores typically offer a wide range of products, while warehouse clubs offer a limited selection. Both types of retailers sell products across many categories including food, and both compete with grocery stores, mass merchandisers, department stores, drugstores, specialty retailers, and wholesalers. Some retailers, such as Wal-Mart, operate warehouse and superstores as well as traditional discount stores. To read the full description, subscribe now.Top One Stop Stores Limited Competitors
