I wouldn't be surprised if some of those products are identical to the Tesco own brand ones.

Unsurprisingly, the Nectar/Esso tie up doesn't apply to joint-venture Tesco Express sites: https://www.nectar.com/esso

It'll be interesting to see if any Clubcard points are awarded for fuel after the end of the month.

I'd read some speculation on Twitter that the Jack's items being sold in Tesco was some way of getting rid of short-dated / overstock items. The one and only Jack's line at my local Tesco - 4 x 330ml Jack's Lemonade at 79p - has a date of January 2020, which if anything suggests it's new stock.

Bizarrely, I was in Tesco yesterday and they had Jack’s bags for life for sale.

That's a lot classier than Sainsbury's new effort.

I went to an Asda today for the first time in ages, and I’m pleased to report that they have rationalised the number of different fonts on their POS down to around 5.

So these Tesco's where they've closed the fresh food counters, do they actually have any plans to do anything with this space?

After launching Jack's, Tesco have now lurched to the other extreme and is considering launching a chain of high end convenience shops to take on M&S Simply Food.

Smart move I reckon. Potentially better margins, combined with Tesco’s existing systems and distribution. Nervousness around the economy from Brexit means there’s potentially a lot of people downgrading from eating out to eating something of a decent quality from a supermarket instead.

Circa 4500 jobs to go in Metro formats as part of simplification (my guess many will turn into express)

Also 134 Express stores to have their opening hours cut.

Stock routines to be simplified as well (less products in shop warehouses)

As usual press informed before staff.
