To be fair, a 50% markup in a shop is pretty normal

Of course. But if shop A charges £100, and shop B charges £40, something
is wrong. The markup must be higher in shop A.

Depends on lots of things like overheads etc.

Look at a Sainsbury local etc. You don't get the same prices or choice you
get in a larger one. They generally stick to the higher profit items. Or a
Starbuck's coffee compared to one from a backstreet cafe.

It's likely to be even more so with something like a 'disability shop' on
the high street, who aren't going to have volume sales. They need to cover
the high rates etc.
