for example..

Tesco has already reached the maximum number of stores it is allowed.

So cleverly what they've done is buy into other markets like the local convenience store field..
so now we have "tesco metro" stores which are basically local versions of the big stores

the days of independent local traders is gone since these chains can afford to buy shit in cheaper.

we have anti-monopoly laws here too. As long as K-Mart is barely in business and Target is going strong, Wal-Mart is not a monopoly.
