Wal-Mart

Details have been revealed about Wal-Mart’s new Marketside store format, which is expected to be in direct competition with Tesco’s Fresh & Easy Neighbourhood concept.

The 1,395m2 store network will launch in Arizona with four initial outlets, and has been dubbed 'the neighbourhood market for busy people with a taste for fresh and delicious food'. Elsewhere, in Argentina, Wal-Mart has launched 24-hour shopping at its Neuquen hypermarket, according to reports.
