I think the problem is the big supermarkets failed to accurately predict the public's perception and subsequent uptake of discount stores. Also the fact that Lidl etc operate in a different business strategy doesn't help. Seeing as the economic downturn (which drove people towards cheaper stores) is here to stay for a while I reckon Aldi, Lidl etc over the next decade will turn in to major players in grocery shopping. Perhaps not as big as Tesco but certainly to have them referred to as part of the new 'Big 5'.
