Between them both, both of their own ranges seemed to have cut way too many corners and the quality isn't just there anymore.
They'll only make money when they sell the business to someone else or float it on the stock exchange. The current owners of Asda borrowed a lot of money to acquire the business and that's where any profits from the shops are going.

Morrisons is in the same situation.

In the meantime, the competitors of Asda and Morrisons are thriving as they've been able to invest in their businesses.
