Sainsbury's aisle change could signal end of an era for classic shopping feature
We've seen a number of changes being tested in supermarkets of late – from Tesco adding locked security cabinets to the introduction of Scan & Shop devices that let you skip the checkouts completely. Many of these have prompted strong reactions from shoppers, with some baffled and others downright 'horrified' feeling like 'big brother' is watching them. The most recent change being trialed shops isn't likely to cause such a fuss though, although it could signal the end of a classic supermarket feature. Retailers across the UK are trying out new electronic shelf-edge labels (ESLs), with Sainsbury's being the latest to give them a go. Sainsbury's is believed to have installed the new electronic labels in several of its bigger stores, across items such as wine, beer, spirits and health products. The technology allows staff to update prices for products remotely on a computer, removing the need to use traditional paper price labels and replace them each time a price goes up or down. According to The Grocer, the new electronic labels are currently being trialed in the Witney store in Oxfordshire. This is one of the company's 'Future Stores' in which they test new aisle and display formats as well as different technology. Another of its kind can be found at Kiln Lane in Epsom, Surrey. The Epsom store was renovated in November 2024 and is known as a 'Destination Plus' supermarket as it stocks the retailer's entire range of food, general merchandise and clothing, as such it's a store that people travel for miles to get to. Speaking about the new labels, a Sainsbury's spokeswoman confirmed they were being 'trialed […] in a number of stores' but they didn't share any other information on them. Sainsbury's isn't the only retailer opting to give ESLs a go, as several other supermarkets have also recently trialed them, including Asda, Waitrose, Co-op and Company Shop. ESLs aren't new as the first systems launched more than 30 years ago and supermarkets have trialed them before, but they've never stuck. Tesco was set to roll them out back in 2017, but ended up not going ahead with this, and Sainsbury's also previously tested digital pricing displays in 2015 in a bid to see if they could cut the use of paper and automatically update prices, and some were tested last year in three stores to discover the impact they would have. Now they are once again being considered for use around the UK as executives believe they could prove more efficient and help cut costs. More Trending It's not clear yet what will happen with ESLs, but if supermarkets were to move ahead with using them in future, it would signal the end of an era for paper labels, which have been a feature in aisles for decades. And it won't be the only supermarket feature that will have been axed after a long time, as barcodes also look set to disappear after being used for 50 years. GS1, the world's only authorised provider of Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) believes barcodes will soon be replaced with pixel-based QR codes instead. Anne Godfrey, chief executive of GS1 UK, claims almost half of British retailers have already updated their checkouts to prepare for the use of QR codes. Do you have a story to share?

‘Mouth-watering' chocolate brand that disappeared from supermarkets is back
The big UK supermarkets aren't exactly short of options when it comes to chocolate, with own-brand bars and treats, as well as products by big names like Cadbury, Tony's and Nestlé. But there's one brand that's been notably missing from the likes of Tesco and Sainsbury's for the last five years as it swapped supermarket shelves for luxury retailers, and that's GODIVA. Founded in Brussels in 1926, the chocolate brand began with pralines and the business is named after the legend of Lady Godiva. It's been sold in the UK for years in high-end stores like Harrods and Selfridges and even has its own flagship store in Covent Garden, but the chocolates haven't been widely available in supermarkets. GODIVA's first foray into supermarkets came in 2017, when the brand partnered with Sainsbury's to sell its Belgian chocolates, but it disappeared from shelves there in 2020. However, that's all about to change as the 100-year-old brand is making a supermarket comeback and has just launched its version of the viral Dubai chocolate bar in Tesco. But, of course, there's a catch. The chocolate treat – a Pistacho & Kadayif bar which sees GODIVA milk chocolate wrapped around crunchy pistachios and crispy Kadayif pastry pieces – is only available at Tesco for a limited time. And when we say limited, we aren't joking. Shoppers now have just over a week to get their hands on it at their local supermarket, as it'll only be sold there until June 17. What's more, the premium bar doesn't come cheap with an RRP of £10, though those with a Clubcard will be able to save a little, getting it for £7.95. According to GODIVA, this new bar is a reimagined and more accessible version of their usual Dubai-style chocolate bar, which is sold in Harrods for £24.95. Speaking about the launch, Isabella Rogers, chief marketing officer at GODIVA, said: 'Inspired by the viral Dubai-style chocolate trend, our new GODIVA Crispy Kadayif & Pistachio Chocolate offers an effortless way for more people to experience our premium take on this indulgent sensation for a limited time only on the high street. 'From the signature GODIVA milk chocolate couverture to the delicate crunch of pistachios and crisp golden Kadayif, it's a true feast for the senses – designed for those who may not make it to our Covent Garden boutique but still want a taste of luxury.' The brand has a strong fan base, with reviewers on Yelp hailing it as 'expensive but well worth it', 'the finest chocolates to be had in the capital', 'mouth-watering' and 'the best chocolate in London' and 'delicious' in numerous four and five star posts about the Covent Garden chocolate shop. This comes after a number of other chocolate brands recently shared exciting news, including Cadbury. The iconic brand has unveiled brand new Dairy Milk bars for summer, with one new flavour plus fun colour-changing packaging. There's an Iced Latte Dairy Milk chocolate bar, which combines smooth coffee cream, biscuit pieces and the classic taste of Cadbury chocolate and four temperature-activated packets, which visually transform when the chocolate is chilled. Yes, that's right, in a somewhat unexpected move, Cadbury is actively encouraging people to put their chocolate bars in the fridge. More Trending The new cold-activated packs will look like ordinary purple Dairy Milk bars – until they are popped in the fridge. Using thermochromic technology, the temperature change will reveal one of four vibrant summer-themed designs as the wrapper changes colour to reveal a deep blue image. Elsewhere, Mars Wrigley, has just confirmed that the 'best' Maltesers are making a comeback after 11 years. (That's the white chocolate version, in case you didn't know.) First launched in 2003, White Chocolate Maltesers were a fan-favourite before being discontinued in 2014 and people have spent more than a decade begging for them to return. View More » White Chocolate Maltesers will be available in treat bags, single bag and sharing bag formats from June 16. You'll be able to find them in major supermarkets along with independent retailers too, so you won't have to go far to get your fix. Do you have a story to share?
