Tesco blitz

Tesco continues to make disproportionate headlines in the U.S., and Tesco-watching and commentating is being taken to obsessive, extreme levels. I'll join in the frenzy with some recent noteworthy, Tesco-related news:

Fresh Prince of Compton
Grocery rivalry heats up between Tesco, supermarkets
Fresh and Easy and American Forests plant 1,000 trees
British firm to bring small grocery format to the region
Fresh and Easy locale OK'd


TK: On a basic level - beyond the "inside merchandising" critiques and out of stock evaluations you will hear from some industry pundits - a common thread in many of these consumer press stories is community goodwill toward Tesco. Simply, thank you, Tesco, for building a store in Compton. Or, "It's the kind of thing we need in this town." Whatever else may come with Tesco's expansion in the U.S., that's not a bad way to start.
