TESCO TO OPEN 12 LOCATIONS IN LA

Tesco announced it is opening 12 “Fresh and Easy” locations in Los Angeles “from Hollywood to Compton,” said ceo Tim Mason, with an additional seven sites being researched. Other Fresh & Easy formats will open in San Diego and Phoenix, along with LA, later this year. Not only will the stores be smaller than traditional supermarkets, but employees reportedly will receive higher benefits including “generous” paid time-off, 401K plan and health insurance.
