Scottish and Southern Energy's decision to enter the Irish gas and power markets is a judicious move given currently prevailing market dynamics and the recent emergence of the Irish Single Electricity Market.

Irish energy giant Topaz is currently re-branding all of its service stations and has plans to radically expand its business. Given that this will bring investment in areas such category managers, inventories and supply chain strategy, and the fact that the Topaz brand is less recognizable than fuel retailers such as Shell, Topaz is well placed to expand into standalone convenience retail outlets.

The Musgrave group has grown operating profit by 4.1% to E109.2m and nearly halved its net debt to E96m. Going forward, it plans to continue its growth in the UK by investing in IT, logistics and store environments, making stores more consistent and navigable. This is an indication that it plans to supply more fresh goods, but the group will need a strong logistical system if it is to succeed.

Irish energy company Petrogas intends to increase the number of service stations that it owns in the UK.

Scottish & Southern Energy is reported to be in the process of lining up a bid for Energia. The UK energy supplier already has a small presence in Ireland, and an acquisition would be a much easier way of gaining market share than organic growth. However, rumors are also circulating that Vattenfall could be interested in acquiring Scottish & Southern Energy.

Starbucks is to shed 75% of its stores in Australia, following difficulty penetrating the country's coffee market, and provide free top-ups in the UK and Ireland in recognition of a consumer downturn. Although these moves could be seen to be a reversal of the company's global aims and premium image, they should allow Starbucks to provide greater value for money during tough economic conditions.

Supermarket group Superquinn has swung back into profit, after its acquisition by Irish consortium Select Retail Holdings in 2005. The company's improved situation has prompted the consortium of investors to enlist Goldman Sachs ahead of a potential sale. Although Superquinn represents a prime acquisition opportunity for the major chains, the economic climate may yet delay the sale.
