darenisepic Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 The sale means the number of Tesco stores in the island will be increased to 10, including its existing store in Douglas. Will this be good for residents? The stores in question will remain trading as Shoprite during a 'transition period' and will be rebranded to Tesco over the next nine months.

But they don't know we've got a fuckwit for a moderator. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah 01 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 50 minutes ago, darenisepic said: Will this be good for residents? I don't think so. As I suggested on another thread about this pending take-over, we have regressed 25 years to when the Island had the Shoprite monopoly- and there was rejoicing when that was ended by Tesco. I'm sure that this time next year there will be as much for Aldi, Asda or Lidl moving onto to Tesco's patch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoTail Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 I don't see this as being a monopoly. The choice is M&S, CoOp and Spar as well as Tesco. Robinson have their own outlets too. I think the opportunities for Robinsons will be exploited in short order. Tessc simply have a dominant position. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only island residents this is good for is the Nicholsons, and possibly Mezeron if some rumours are to be believed. Everyone else will lose out on some way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what's the problem with that? You're not editors, but because you originally made an incorrect editorial decision to fold previous Merger threads into the Firms Closing thread isn't a reason to keep getting it wrong.

Calm down dear. Have as many threads as you like. I’ve put Songs of Praise on Albert’s YouTube on repeat. He'll be busy for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for that takeover, as the windows have been replaced and repaired and the building has been painted in Castletown Square as part of it, and it looks a whole load better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
