supermarket

A supermarket has opened an on-site pub as a way around restrictive liquor licensing laws, allowing it to sell alcohol it otherwise could not. The scheme has proven so popular that the store now employs bouncers to manage crowds. The unusual workaround is drawing attention as an example of businesses creatively navigating alcohol regulations.

A new investigation examines the wave of protein-enriched products now filling supermarket shelves, questioning whether their health claims hold up or whether they are primarily a marketing opportunity. The report looks at how food brands are capitalising on the protein trend and what consumers actually get for the premium price attached to these so-called fitness foods.
