Britain's Busiest Supermarket Eyes Success with US Launch

Tesco, the UK’s biggest retailer, recently announced its quarterly earnings have soared due in part to the launch of 15 Fresh & Easy stores in the US.

In its first attempt to break into the US market, Tesco pulled out all the stops to ensure the
neighborhood markets were a welcome addition by donating $1000 to a local non-profit. Even better – the retailer put the power in the hands of the community by asking them to nominate the organization they think best fits with Fresh & Easy values.

Tesco seems to be doing
everything right as they launch their brand in the US including giving customers a forum to speak their minds about the new Fresh & Easy markets. The website also gives consumers content that is important to them such as articles on cuisine and recipe ideas (using Fresh & Easy products of course). They even have a blog to further engage its core audience and used YouTube to introduce the Fresh & Easy concept.

Tesco also makes it very easy on American media to get the information they need with a
press kit equipped with downloadable photos and logos, fact sheets, latest news and quote sheets.

Get ready, the
British Invasion is coming to a supermarket near you!
