Retail market comments

'Slow increase in the overall number of grocery store openings by the top retailers in Switzerland since 2002.'

'There have been almost 200 supermarkets/superstores opened across the country since 2002, while discount store numbers have increased by 229 when comparing 2007 with 2002.'

'Growth in hypermarkets has been slow and in 2007 vs. 2006 numbers have fallen. This could reflect the effects of legislation which imposes restrictions on retail developments over 2,000 sqm.'
