Tesco's are a big supermarket chain throughout the UK. This store in Welshpool had only opened the previous week. The manager of the Welsh chain came up from Cardiff to see us. They gave us a run down of how the shop was set up. The entrance draws you past the flowers and chocolates then into the "Power Isle" which is all the major event items such as Mothers Day and Easter. The shopper is then free to tour the store for the rest of the shopping.
They are buying local goods and will continue to do as long as they sell at better than 10 units per week. As an example local free range is already 45% of the total eggs sale.
The company is looking at other towns to put supermarkets in. They have started in a town 1/2 hour away. They are currently are running a free bus from this town to allow people to get used to buying at Tesco's so when the new supermarket opens they have a ready supply of Tesco shoppers.
