Tesco, the UK supermarket group, is to focus the operations of its new US "Fresh
& Easy" small supermarkets around a "customer assistant" whose role reflects a
shift away from traditional approaches to US food store staffing.

<snip>

Tesco is expected to open its first stores in southern California, Arizona and
Nevada in the fourth quarter of this year. It has secured more than 100 sites,
and is also now securing sites in northern California around San Jose,
Sacramento and Oakland.

I find it interesting that here in the US we complain about imported goods,
buying Japanese cars, but we welcome foreign ownership of our food
distribution network.

The US can learn a lot about food distribution from the UK
supermarkets.

The UK supermarkets have been using own name brands for decades,
not just getting manufacturers to rebadge products but actually
buying direct from farmers and producers buying their whole
crop.

Some farmers in Europe only produce for specific supermarkets.

The quality is excellent also.

Thats why Walmart bought Asda a huge Brit supermarket chain.
Walmart is now bringing in the George brand of clothing into the
US from Asda.

Only if they bring Ribena and Elastoplasts!
