Thanks for bringing some "real" food to our neighborhood.
I tell you it is a shame that the only place to get some "Euro" quality is Trader Joe's [an ALDI company] in our Southwest corner of the country. Everything else is just hyped and completely artificial.

Just shows what you can achieve when you start selling cheap tea off a borrow

Having just moved back to the US from living in UK for 10 years, I say 'come on Tesco's and don't forget us on the East Coast' It would be wonderful to see products marketed that would suit British and many American tastes, i.e. less sugar and salt in their prepared foods! And really fresh looking vegetables instead of those which look as if they have spent days in transit. And digestives, and indian spices, and Horlick's, and some real grainary breads! We live near Orlando and certainly have enough people who visit from UK or have been to UK to support one store in the area.

To reply to the first comment, Americans DO know Tesco, I travel on business all over the US, and the retailers are worried, and their employees hopefull Tesco DO come over and take their companies over.
Their will be a place for Tesco as corporate America has no scruples, and (whatever we think) Tesco will be seen to be more responsible.
Americans love a business sucess story, even a British one.

Thank God for that. Maybe we can now get some clean,decent British food instead of the rubbish served up in some American chains. How about coming to Southwest Florida?

I think it will do very well. American supermarkets are great but the fresh produce they sell is usually pretty awful. This has been lack of demand - due to mass agriculture and a thinly-spread population, American supermarket customers traditionally shopped monthly and got canned, frozen and prepackaged food. Fresh produce was grown at home, or covered with packaged sauces to disguise lack of flavour . But now Americans - particularly rich urban Americans - are responding to medical advice to eat fresh produce, simply prepared, in order to stave off obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Farmer's markets, wholefood supermarkets and speciality food shops are booming. The big American supermarkets are still haven't worked out how to adjust their supply chains for freshness and taste rather than keeping quality (you can see it in the sad state of much organic produce by the time it hits their shelves).

Bring it on. At last a decent food store in the US that wil concntrate on fresh produce. Oh and dont forget Houston - oil and gas but plent of Brits looking for Tesco! Bring it On

Gerardin, Houston, TX, USA

From experience of living in the USA as well as the UK Tesco are on to a good thing as there is little competition in the field of quality products especially in the fresh fruit and veg line. If they introduce products at UK prices with UK quality and standards they are on to a winner.

Well, Tesco bothering because they want the profits (of selling food to Americans) to go to their shareholders, not the competitor's shareholders. If there is no more room for them to expand in the UK market, they need to look elsewhere.

The supermarket business is saturated and competitive enough over here. Walmart (who own Asda in the UK) have the very low end of the market; local chains made the middle market. It will be interesting to see how Tesco position and distinguish themselves in the market place. The "Tesco" brand name doesn't mean anything to your average American.

How about one in Hong Kong. It would go down a storm.

Tesco's announcement in February also shed light on what sort of food Fresh & Easy will sell. Its lineup won't include British food. Tesco USA CEO Tim Mason said Fresh & Easy will "reflect 21st-century American life."

Just what we need another store selling american crap.

There is a great demand here for something different but for some reason all the stores sell the same items. So at the end of the day what is the point of Tesco even bothering.

Gary French, Dallas, Texas

Having just returned from a decade in the UK I see this as a viable move.
Any firm that overpays execs or investors is at risk and we are hence witnessing
a second wave of megastores eg: the Home Depot problems.
Tesco seems to run a tight ship.
Just remember to stock root beer!
