Tesco is one of the worlds leading international retailers. Since the company first the trading name of Tesco, in the mid 1920s, the group has expanded into different formats, different markets and different sectors. The UKs leading retailer Tesco was floated on the stock exchange in 1947 and in 1995 took over rival Sainsburys position as the UK number one. The principal activity of the group is food retailing, with over 2,000 stores worldwide. Tesco has a long term strategy for growth, based on four key parts: growth in the Core UK business, to expand by growing internationally, to be as strong in non-food as in food and to follow customers into new retailing services. The company launched a home shopping service in 2000, allowing customers to order their shopping online. Tesco is now expanding its convenience stores and overseas into areas such as Taiwan, Malaysia, Poland, the US and Ireland.

Tesco push the green issue further.
Our local Tesco is changing the carrier bag use from next Monday.
From that date customers will be given green type re-usable bags, made from Hessian type material. If you want a plastic carrier bag you will have to ask.
No doubt all Tesco stores will be evaluating this as presumably our Tesco is being used as a tester.
Where Tesco lead others follow.

If this does not tempt children/parents to buy/eat health food nothing will.

Tesco joins forces with Disney for kids food range

Tesco healthy eating

Tesco and Disney are to launch a line of co-branded food products featuring Disney and Disney-Pixar characters.

See....http://www.talkingretail.com/news/7099/Tesco-joins-forces-with-Disney.ehtml

And looking at the products, any adverts on TV may get past the PC brigade, as healthy eating looks like being the promotional angle.

Still a worthwhile longterm hold :)

Not a popular share on this board but certainly moving in the right direction this week may be of interest to some. As Tesco takes over the World we might as well join the party unless somebody can advise why not.

No Credit Crunch in Tescoland
April 21st, 2009

As we all now seem to a greater or lesser extent to be living in Tescoland, perhaps one should take the view that if you cant beat em, join em! With large and small outlets on every corner, and now rapidly building into a global entity, Tesco (TSCO) has in many ways left its peers foundering in its wake

And today, deep into the credit crunch, the supermarket giant unveiled better-than-expected annual core pre-tax profits of GBP3.13bn, a record for a UK retailer. Although the group net debt of GBP9.6bn is higher than expected, the position has been exaggerated by forex and is offset by the nebulous list of freeholds valued at GBP30.4bn. Tesco is positive on overall outlook for the year, and has also upped the divi for happy Tescoland holders.

Shortly after the results came out this morning, a few brokers posted their views. I took this transcript from another site, so the rest is here

"today" is of course friday.

lets see what happens this coming week. i would really like to buy this in 405/410sh area
but having already bought in 430sh area will be unable to do so.i just cannot and will not average down. so i need a strategy. sell a proportion higher and reinstate lower is one posibilty,just sell out at cost/ small loss is another very serious possibilty, after all it didnt follow thro as i had anticipated and expected. or just sit tight through my original plan?
i think i shall sit tight.could be wrong. that price movement nov thro feb looks like accumulation to me. we'll see in due course.as always just my opinion and please always dyor
regards

a weekly close below 429 would not be good for us tesco bulls.unless it immediately recovers the following week.currently now 419.just one day to go. my protective stop is in.
gap anyone? or not? i have no idea.as always just my opinion and please dyor.
regards
and good luck to all

What is wrong with Tesco is seems like someone has got their foot on the SP

See it as a buying oppurtunity Club, I don`t know why the price is being supressed.

Down again. Can't understand this as when I went to my local Tesco Saturday I could not even get a parking place for the DB9 considered going next door to Asda but did not have a minder to watch the motor from those council house types.
