CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR TRADING STATEMENT


TESCO DELIVERS A GREAT CHRISTMAS FOR CUSTOMERS




Terry Leahy, Chief Executive, commented:



"The Group has continued to make good progress, helped by strong growth across our international businesses, which delivered over half of the Group's growth. Our performance remains solid but was hindered in the run up to the important Christmas trading period in the UK by the disruptive effects of the severe winter weather conditions. Our staff and suppliers did a fantastic job in delivering a great shopping trip for customers in difficult circumstances."

Brave or suicidal? Long @ 406.0

At 406.0 has Christmas come late for those brave enough? :)

Stop to entry for risk free trade.

In its latest departure from the "pile-'em-high, sell-'em-cheap" philosophy of its founder Sir Jack Cohen, Tesco is opening its first beauty parlour, following hard on the heels of the manicures and threading treatments being offered to customers on a trial basis at two of its larger stores. The move comes amid a wider push to take on the department stores and the likes of Boots in selling a wider range of upmarket cosmetics and is the latest in a long line of forays beyond its traditional activity of selling groceries, the Times reports.
