But isn't that true of a lot of REITs? Vide BBOX, WHR, CREI etc?

so if you believe online will grow, won't this reduce supermarket profitability over time and therefore the covenant? i.e. shift sales from their most profitable route, to the least?
from where i stand, the future model of grocery is smaller, high volume stores like lidl and aldi with lower prices. massive stores with 40k product lines are struggling to achieve the same returns.

Three high-yielding ‘alternative’ investment companies - The Renewables Infrastructure Group, Supermarket Income Reit and Tufton Oceanic Assets - have launched share issues to expand their portfolios.
SUPR, a 5%-yielding £713m real estate investment trust (Reit) whose portfolio of supermarkets are leased to the likes of Tesco (TSCO) and Sainsbury’s (SBRY), has proposed a £100m placing at 106p. This is a 3% discount to the closing price of 109.5p on 3 March and a 1.9% premium to the end-of-December NAV of 104p (rising to a 3.4% premium when the NAV is adjusted for the recent 1.465p dividend).
The offer is also being made available to private investors via the PrimaryBid app, subject to a minimum subscription of £1,000. The offer will close on 18 March, or earlier if oversubscribed.
The shares closed at 107p yesterday, following the announcement.

‘Exposed’ Supermarket Income slides on Peel Hunt downgrade
30 June 2022
Shares in Supermarket Income tumble 6% after broker downgrades popular real estate investment trust from ‘hold’ to ‘reduce’, expressing concern at its high valuation.
Shares in Supermarket Income (SUPR ) have tumbled 6% today after broker Peel Hunt downgraded the popular real estate investment trust (Reit) from ‘hold’ to ‘reduce’, expressing concern at its high valuation.
Investors have piled into the stock this year, attracted by the steady income it earns from long, inflation-linked leases on a portfolio of well-positioned stores in a defensive sector. That’s pushed shares in the wealth manager favourite to a near 15% premium over net asset value this year.
With the Reit’s finance costs rising with interest rates, and questions over the sustainability of its rents, analyst James Carswell said that the high rating looked like an ‘outlier’ in the sector where Secure Income (SIR ) and LXI (LXI ) Reits trade close to par ahead of their merger, and the smaller Value and Indexed Property Income (VIP ) and Alternative Income (AIRE ) trusts stand on discounts of 9% and 12% below net asset value.
Carswell cut his price target for Supermarket Income from 125p to 115p, sending shares, which had risen 9% to 129.5p this year, 7.7p lower to 121.8p.
‘Whilst by no means alone, Supermarket Income Reit looks relatively exposed to recent interest rate increases, with just 44% of existing drawn debt hedged and additional debt required for new purchases. Our analysis suggests current rates could reduce our EPS [earnings per share] forecasts by 8%, and hedging now for five years would lead to a c.20% downgrade.’ That could potentially leave the 5% yielder’s dividend uncovered, Carswell warned investors.
Following a £307m share issue this year, Supermarket Income has £700m of firepower at its disposal to invest, including a credit facility and the proceeds of store sales to Sainsbury’s. However, Carswell cautioned that the Reit was investing in a seller’s market and that with high prices depressing rental yields, the company may have to sacrifice asset quality to support its dividends.
