I think the UK’s small neighbourhood supermarkets were a completely unintentional side effect of Sunday trading law in England & Wales, allowing unrestricted opening hours for chain stores up to 2400 sq ft.

I assume that what they’re doing is 250W + exactly the amount of pedal power put in. (Averaged over time, because…)

I do think that if we had star ratings for interior space, space usage efficiency and things like that, it would be a small.
