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.

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? :)

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.

Tesco said pretax profits were up 11.3% year-on-year on sales 8.1% higher, driven by strong growth in Asia. Final dividend was hiked 10.8%. The shares slipped 6.45p at 393.55p.
