💨 Abstract

Sainsbury's is testing electronic shelf labels in a few stores, which could divide shoppers. While these labels offer real-time pricing updates and potential efficiency gains, concerns exist about "surge pricing" and reduced visibility of sales. This move follows similar trials by Co-op, Lidl, and Asda. Additionally, Sainsbury's has closed various in-store food services as part of a larger store estate overhaul, replacing them with franchised restaurants.
