   Why was SavaCentre discontinued?

   • It is believed that the SavaCentre brand name was scrapped because the SavaCentre format had had mixed success over the years, and it left the option for Sainsbury's to launch a substantial non-food offer in its heritage supermarket estate, under its own brand, in the future.

   Why did Sainsbury's start SavaCentre?

   • All the foods one expected to find at a supermarket would be sold, plus a wide range of non-food items, and economies of scale meant that prices could be kept lower than smaller stores. In Britain few hypermarkets had opened but in France they were well-established. The result of Sainsbury’s attempt to match this success was Savacentre.
