The Big Food Group says it will continue to develop new-format stores by refurbishing and trying out 20 outlets by Christmas, says The Times.
The Daily Telegraph says it will roll out about 50 new-format stores this year and 100 in the following two years.
They include small discount freezer centres and upmarket convenience stores. It expects to convert 100 of the 700 Iceland stores into convenience stores and a similar number into small freezer stores. The rest will become “core” and “core plus” stores.
