Big Trouble at Tesco

http://news.sky.com/story/1404081/tesco-to-cut-stores-and-jobs-in-revival-plan


The UK's biggest retailer says difficult changes are ahead as it moves to put the customer first following its accounting scandal.

How the mighty have fallen.

[hijaxers]

Good Tesco need to wake up as to how hated they are !

[Nedusa]

Great to see this

Hubris on Tesco's part thinking they could take more and more of the retail market by opening more and more bigger and bigger stores.

But in their thirst for ever increasing profit they have forsaken the basics in retailing like quality products and customer service , so now all their chickens are coming home to roost.

How the mighty have fallen.

Not a Tesco fan and already ever shop there, the horse meat was the final straw for a lot of customers I think.

There's a new Tesco opening near me this month and I am perched

[Crimson Dynamo]

dreadful store

[T*]

i'll be a bit sad if the southport one closes

[Jamesy]

We have the second biggest Tesco store in Wales so no way our large one will close :laugh:

I'm guessing they will close their smaller Tesco stores, ones which are in cities/towns with too many of them.

[the truth]

yippeee i hope they all go bankrupt,. theyre compacent greedy bullying bstards. theyr totally contempt for the customers and the comunities is now coming back to hurt them. theyve destroyed endless towns and villages for years. they offer nothing unique or original and their top down centrally controlled system makes them totally inflexible and unopen to new ideas. meanwhile brilliant co operatives like john lewis go from strength to strength with unique products and original personal experience tailored to meet personal needs

[armand.kay]

They fired me so ha2

They fired me so ha2

7 New Tesco Stores in Scotland
now halted and stopped
just on STV Live

[JoshBB]

As much as I love to see a greedy corporate business fail, I can't help but feel sorry for the hundreds who will lose their jobs as a result of this.

[smudgie]

Ahh well. Every little helps.

[LukeB]

doubt any tesco's by me will close I mean in West Bromwich(place by me) they have one of the Uk's biggest Tesco which cost them like 7 million to build.

That will not come into it
The New Boss is Closing any that are not making him
enough money

[Cherie]

Doubt any of the big stores will close it will more likely be the Tesco extras, we have a Tesco which is open 24 hours and a Tesco Extra within a mile of it it,:umm2:

Yes and the New boss knows all the ones
he is going to Shut Down.

But is keeping it secret


So unless they know their store is not making enough
they will not know until a few days before

What Date?

[Anaesthesia]

Delighted to see Tesco closing some shops down. I wish some of them were in MY area.

The resultant job loss makes me sad though.

[jennyjuniper]

I like Tesco and every time we come home to Britain I go mad on a shopping spree there and in M& S. What is unfair is that Netto opened about 50 shops in the UK; but Denmark won't allow any British competition to open stores here.

What Date?

End of January
