retail 


groups of stores owned by a single person or company



in the interests of leading to reasonable prices through competition, it should not be

	possible to set a single set of prices across a large number of stores



where a large number of locations fall under a single owner, stores should be grouped 

	into individual groups. there should be a maximum of 5 stores in each group.

	prices for each group should be set independantly of the other groups.

	this number may have to be adjusted to a higher or lower value with 

	the benefit of experience.
