The Corner-Shop to Supermarket Transition in Retailing: The Beginnings of Empirical Evidence

Abstract

It was proposed in an earlier paper that a catastrophe-theory-like mechanism might explain the relatively sudden transition from corner-shop retailing to a supermarket system. In this paper, some extensions of this mechanism and some alternatives are presented; but most importantly the first steps are taken in relating these theoretical explorations to empirical data. We consider change in Nottingham from 1956 to 1979.
