Safe gamble for Tesco

TESCO takes over the world - it's official! Read all about it soon!!!!
Not far off by looks of it. A relatively safe gamble of opening up in Las Vegas is being wagered by the supermarket giant, and why should there be any worries.
We know the US like things big and brash, and in Las Vegas they like it even bigger and brasher. Then on the homefront the company is to top the league for non-food business too by the end of the year, pipping catalogue institution Argos.
No surprise both are at such lofty heights when you think about what they have going for them though is it? In a modern, hectic world littered by constraints on time, Argos has for years made shopping simple, you can do the hard part while you're watching Coronation Street. Tesco goes one better, allowing you to tag everything else on to your weekly war of the trolleys, with free parking and loyalty points to boot.
No longer is the supermarket home to iffy brands when it comes to electrics either, instead shiny Sony televisions sit on he shelves, metres from the loaves of bread.
It is not a good state of affairs for the high street traders, or local independents, but sales don't lie and cleary that is where people want to shop.
Alas, the customer - as they say - is always right.
