No. They are very protective of the individual store numbers. It is all done through a centralised 0800 number, but thanks for your sarcasm.

I have found they will beat anyone else on price plus add flybuys, and our local store manager gives us exceptional service. He knows I'll shop around so gives me the best price in the market whenever we buy a major appliance which saves me plenty of time. Their is some value in getting to know your local manager in my opinion. On top of that their weekly e.mail deals can offer some exceptional opportunities. Our local store is convenient, well presented and has a very good range. I couldn't be more satisfied. Each to their own...
They are hardly going to cut their own throat to retain beagle as a customer, most stores are willing to slice a bit off when people want to buy the more expensive items. In this case the store manager reduces the price to get the sale and not have a competitor get it. It is standard practice, even if beagle gets a slightly larger discount, the sales and marketing team will have allowed for it. They will have a price they want to see it go for, they will add a portion to it that they can drop for the likes of the cash buyer or the bargain hunting beagles out there. But some people willnot ask for a discount so it all balances out.
