Tesco, the United Kingdom's largest retailer with more than 3,200 stores in a dozen countries, is rolling out its new Fresh &Easy neighborhood store concept in Southern California, Phoenix and Las Vegas. The local office of CB Richard Ellis has been scouting Greater Sacramento for locations since spring, but Tesco hasn't revealed any of its plans for this region. Fresh &Easy stores will measure about 10,000 square feet.
The upcoming arrival of Tesco's Fresh &Easy stores has created the most buzz within the retail industry since Wal-Mart Stores Inc. some years ago started opening its grocery-selling supercenter stores. Operating in the United States from the Los Angeles suburb of El Segundo, Tesco is expected to change the retail landscape.
