Tesco For All You Longbottoms - Page 2 - PSP-Forum.com

Tesco's is more food orientated with the other bits as extra's... where as Walmart is the extra's full stop... and ASDA is the best of both worlds.... here in Canada we have Stupid Store (Super Store)... and my god the stores are BIG.

I am guessing that for Tesco's to move into the States it is a big gamble as the products would be different and the suppliers different too.... new relationships with suppliers and import conditions to be met... bet that would cost a pretty penny indeed.

Safeway is here and in the Uk and in the US I believe.... they are big.

I believe safeways got bought out by a company over here in the UK, morrisons maybe, not too sure.

Morrisons used to be a Northern only store but have aggressively moved into the South... I know they bought out Safeway... but Safeway Uk maybe a different company to Safeway Canada/US.

Yeah, supermarkets are not allowed to have lots of stored in one area so thats why they probably expanded out. Tesco is getting out of hand, i dont know an area that dosent have a tesco in it.

How come you can't have a Tesco on every corner of every street? Thats basicly how it is with McDonalds down here!

Kernel Kev · 03-11-2008, 10:16 PM

Because the owners of all the corner shops would go on a rampage.

If a company has stores everywhere then the consumer will have less options, which isnt good for the companies image. It follows the same principles as why the US dosent allow monopolies, just their is no actual law here about it.

Grrrr....Monopolies...

Dude On Fire · 03-12-2008, 11:50 AM

NO! Only the asians can start their deli at the corner.

There is a monopolies law and a commision in the UK but it is hardley ever brought into play as industry and retail govern themselves... usually a discussion in the House of Lords is enough to curb any silly growth.

Where we're from (myself and Bam and Constantine), we have Safeway, King Sooper's, and Albertson's for groceries (those are the big supermarkets).

Wal-Mart (which I hate btw) is everywhere except in Boulder (they don't allow chain shops there, there isn't even a Pizza Hut).

Target's kinda big here (nowhere near the size of Wal-Mart though) and there are a few K-Marts left too.

A little more west like in Phoenix and L.A. and such, their main supermarket chain is called Ralph's.
