The big feature of supermarkets though is the stock turn, many supermarket lines have stock turns of 50 or higher.
If an item had a lousy 25% margin, with a stock turn of 50, the annual gross profit on that line would be 1250% on the employed capital for the particular line over a year. (of course this is prior to deducting expenses)
Nice money if you can get it.
There are many mechanisms for showing a much smaller taxable income on operating profit than is actually the real case, and it conveniently reduces the Income Tax liability
