Store manager Stephan and his team need to decide which products should be stocked to serve the well-off local community. How will the neighbouring shops on the parade react to the new competition? \n\nWhile the supermarket celebrates its past, it’s also looking to the future by trialling an experiment to remove all the checkouts from one store, encouraging customers to pay for their items with their mobile phones. Will this unique trial change the face of shopping or simply send customers elsewhere?
