This report is for F&B, so not fair to include P&G and Johnson & Johnson. Further, Unliver is only a minor player in F&B, so not surprising that they are only at #33 on the list.

 

Take away those three, and the remaining seven companies all crack the top twelve, including four of the top five positions.

 

Also worth noting that three of the top 12 are meat producers and one of the top 12 is a brewer, both of which are areas that the above companies are not involved in. The other of the top 12 could also be represented in this image, as it is another multi-brand company.

 

So all in all, these companies dominate the F&B industry.

Thought I should post this before this thread ventures even further afield...

As far as groceries go in Victoria, we have lots of competition IMO:

Thrifty's
Save on Foods
Fairway Markets
Wal Mart
Costco
Quality Foods
Market on Yates / Millstream
Superstore
Whole Foods
Wellburns
Oxford Foods
Red Barn Markets
Rootcellar
Shoppers Drug Mart
London Drugs

And probably a couple other I am forgetting. I don't think we are at any immediate risk of having a competition problem.

someone care to break down the percentage of square footage for each one? I'm sure that Thrifty's, Save On, and maybe Fairways have half the square footage in town for grocery. Walmart has just 2 stores, Costco and Superstore both have one, big stores that do a lot of volume.

That takes care of probably 75%+ of the grocery sales in the CRD.

 

We have a lot of choice, yes, though much of that choice requires travelling further.
