Tesco extends Fresh& Easy convenience stores to northern California | Industry News | TalkingRetail.com

Tesco is expanding its Fresh& Easy convenience store chain in the US by opening its first outlets in northern California.

Fruitnet.com reports Tesco plans to open 10 Fresh& Easy Neighborhood Markets in the region, starting with stores in San Jose and Danville, a suburb of San Francisco.

Last October, said the report, Tesco closed 13 stores, mainly in Arizona and Nevada, which have been hit hard by the recent property crash and ensuing recession.

Tesco has previously said it expected Fresh& Easy to break even by 2012/13.
