OI!
Leave the bash marmite comments alone, there is another thread for that, lol

Do any other stores keep it in any place other than with the rest of the spreads?

The proper place to store marmite is in the bin, so it can be properly disposed of ;) :D

However, what I want to know is where is yours kept in your local supermarkets?

For years now my local Asda constantly keep it on the same aisle as gravy etc, next to the Bovril.

However, the only use of it that I have ever known has been to spread it upon toast, although the latest adverts say that it is nice on a cheese sandwich, it will still be spread on toast by 99% of the British public.

So WHY do they store it next to meat products and not on the jams & spreads aisle?

I asked my local Asda's food manager & he says that head office have decided this.
So before I complain to Asda head office with a national campaign of "Please put my marmite with the rest of the spreads", where does your local store keep thiers?

(I am serious about this you know!)

I find mine in the SPREADS aisle. ;)

Thats exactly why its done, I was once fed a load BS about how merchandising is to give the displays a bit of veriety etc, that was until I started working at asda when a manager who was very honest (gotta hand it to him for that) told me that its to dissorientate the customers so they have to go down almost every isle to find what they want and end up finding 20 or so more items they didnt know they wanted when they came in.
That is also why bread, milk, butter and music & video will normally be loacted at the rear of the store.
They would also do the same with the ciggerette kiosks but apparently smokers are some of the more impatient customers and will often leave if they dont see the counter near the door assuming there isnt one there rather than looking or asking.

Re: Marmite: Where do they store yours?

All the major supermarkets use planograms generated by head office which stipulate exactly where a product is displayed and the space allocated to it. Shelf space in supermarkets is another commodity which they sell which suppliers buy to give their products prominence.
