Price competition
Here in France, it is fascinating to see how precise the competition is among supermarkets over price. e.LeClerc regularly runs ads that show a price comparison between them and multiple other supermarket groups. e.LeClerc always wins of course. This week, they have run radio ads specifically taking on the price comparison between them and mighty Carrefour, showing Carrefour is higher. Meanwhile, Carrefour Market, a somewhat more upscale arm of Carrefour, claims that its prices on some items are lowere than e.LeClerc and others.
I don't see Food Lion and Harris-Teeter, for example, doing this. The only thing I recall is Wal-Mart's claim that it will meet any advertised price.

Chain restaurants
One of the complaints voiced recently about Chapel Hill is that we have too many chain restaurants and they are forcing others out of the market or out of business or both. Here in Nice, there are very few chain operations as best I can tell. Sure, there is a Subway or two and several McDonald's, but that's not the heart of where people eat when dining away from their residences. There are some obvious potential explanations but I would like to understand all of this in more detail.

Chapel Hill Store
It's a good idea, but I wonder if this is the best possible execution. This is impressive, but I wonder why they cannot ship internationally.
