Omnichannel: The future model of UK Grocery.
SUPR’s portfolio is designed to capture elevated online grocery demand, which is up +80% since June 2019 according to Kantar. Our growing portfolio consists of 93% omnichannel stores.
Omnichannel stores are supermarkets that operate as online fulfilment hubs as well as generating instore physical sales. We understand that these stores are critical to the operations of the UK’s leading grocers such as Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Asda and Morrisons, making our stores vital infrastructure to our tenants. The seamless integration between online and offline fulfilment provides our tenants with economies of scale as well as operational efficiencies.
Omnichannel at work: The omnichannel virtuous cycle.
Over 80% of online grocery in the UK is fulfilled from omnichannel supermarkets, and the virtuous cycle enables the combination of in-store and online fulfilment to help deliver increased sales and customer satisfaction.
93% of SUPR’s portfolio consists of omnichannel stores, critical infrastructure for the UK’s largest grocers. These stores give us exposure to the fastest growing segment of the UK grocery market, which is itself experiencing strong growth.
“As we look forward, the quality of our unique omnichannel supermarket portfolio, the increasing affordability of grocery rents, together with our robust balance sheet means we feel confident and well positioned to continue delivering long-term value for our shareholders.” – Nick Hewson, Chair
