On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Aldi has recently been named as the nation’s most popular supermarket, according to new polling data for Q4 2023 from YouGov.

In the poll, Aldi maintained its position at the top, ranking ahead of its traditional Big Four rivals, as well as M&S and fellow discounter Lidl

It comes after Aldi was named by Which? as the UK’s Cheapest Supermarket of the Year for 2023,having also won the accolade in 2022 and 2021.

Britain’s fourth-largest supermarket was also named the UK’s Cheapest Supermarket of the month for December by Which?. A basket of 43 everyday items cost £10.38 – or 14% – more at the average Big Four supermarket than at Aldi, while this was 27% more at the most expensive supermarket, Waitrose.

In 2023, Aldi also attracted more than half a million additional customers and saw customers switch spending from every major UK supermarket, including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, M&S and Lidl, to Aldi.

Richard Thornton, communications director at Aldi, said: “We know that with the rising pressures of the cost of living, customers are looking for ways to save without having to compromise on the quality British food they love.

“Aldi continues to offer great quality products at unbeatable prices, which is why we believe British shoppers have voted us the nation’s favourite supermarket yet again.”
