As the 21st century beckons, the competitive terrain of the United Kingdom food retailing industry is set to change. A host of forces signal the need for food retailers to embark upon programmes of strategic change in order to find a defendable position within an increasingly competitive industry. This paper highlights the dominance of females within the population and the associated implications for food shopping. Thus, some of the opportunities available to food retailers are identified, together with suggestions for their exploitation through focusing on leisurely shopping.
