How do supermarkets compete?

Tesco's move to add exclusive items like Mr Chen's dumplings shows how supermarkets use unique products to stand out. Beyond just price, they compete on range, quality, convenience, and brand perception. Offering specific, desirable items can attract new customers and keep existing ones loyal, especially when those items aren't available elsewhere.
