Another two stores are being planned to open later this year. Tesco is the third largest retailer in the world, after US company Wal-Mart and French chain Carrefour.

    Hello,

    Speaking of Wal-Mart, they have now tied their RFID initiative to their expanding environmental programs.

    TESCO is now beginning to go head to head with Wal-Mart in the United States as well.

    Cheers
