Wal-Mart set to launch Marketside stores
US based retailing giant Wal-Mart has announced that they are all set to launch their Marketside grocery stores in the Phoenix, Arizona region.
With this they would take on Tesco in this segment of the market (fresh groceries and prepared foods).
This launch comes less than a year after Tesco entered the US market with their offerings. The UK based company is currently operating 78 of its Fresh & Easy stores in Arizona, California and Nevada.
Wal-Mart representative Mike Thomas spoke about these new stores: “Everyone is looking for the answer to the question of ‘What’s for dinner?’. We’re providing a meal solution for people on the go, people who want something that’s convenient, fresh and affordable.”
He added: “Our pricing is going to be very competitive and accessible to everybody.”
