Here is the latest on Tesco’s bid to make the USA a healthy country. Text courtesy of The Arizona Republic <\/a><\/p>\n

“The minisupermarkets, dubbed <\/span>Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market<\/a>, will begin to open late this year in the Phoenix area and other Western cities. Tim Mason<\/a>, Tesco USA chief executive officer, officially announced the Fresh & Easy name and revealed more details about its launch to Valley officials and business leaders. <\/span>
The chain’s emphasis will be on fresh produce and healthful, ready-to-eat meals sold for affordable prices <\/span>but not British food<\/span>. [<\/span>My emphasis] <\/span><\/p>\n

Mason said. “It is very deliberately designed to meet the needs of the 21st-century American consumer.” In Tesco’s eyes, those needs don’t include smoking: The stores won’t sell cigarettes or tobacco products<\/span>
“We’re going to encourage a healthy lifestyle,” Mason said, adding that Tesco’s private brand products won’t contain added trans fats, artificial colours or flavours.<\/p>\n
