Supermarket price war looms as two more stores go online

IRISH supermarket price wars will take to cyberspace next year with two of the country’s largest stores preparing to launch online sales.

SuperValu and Dunnes Stores plan to launch an online shopping presence with website development believed to be well under way at both companies.

Tesco and Superquinn already offer online purchasing and home delivery services. So when SuperValu and Dunnes go online consumers will be able to compare prices across all four from the comfort of their home — sparking a price war to benefit shoppers.
