Homebase in Tesco:


Not sure if this is a branded range (Entertainer/Claires/Accessorize in Asda) or a store-in-store.

It's a store-in-store, to answer my own question:

Would seem "Just Essentials" is replacing the Smart Price range imminently?

Weird choice having the 'ASDA' lettering huge and the 'just essentials' lettering tiny. Like M Savers mk1 I'm not sure it's clear enough that it's the budget tier rather than the own brand.

Waitrose aren't happy about Asda adopting a range with Essentials in the name:

Considering a lot of people are going to be needing budget brands over the next few months/years, I don't think it'll take too long for the packaging to become synonymous with low cost.

Odd that it's yellow and not green. Yellow is the Morrison's signature colour, not Asda's. Maybe that explains the huge, Tyne Tees style lettering?

While loitering in the lobby of an Asda today, I was delighted to learn from the BSL welcome message on the advertising screens that the sign language for 'Asda' is a pocket-tap.

I don’t think I normally notice new staff uniforms but the new Tesco ones are a *lot* brighter aren’t they?

To me it harks back to the days of FineFare yellow label packs.

Yep. Certainly more visible. Tesco seem to be ruthlessly removing all shades of blue and red from their visual identity other than the 2 in their master logo.
