TESCO coming to Joondalup
Hello, suppose it was inevitable really!
Plans accepted, location secret, just have to go through a foreign trade agreements and assess impact to other company's.
I forget the link - I will find it.
I`m not sure this type of consumerism is whats needed. It may raise the supermarket standards in Perth and lower prices but food is already too cheap and we have to value it more.
Is convenience more important than local businesses?

Re: TESCO coming to Joondalup
I'm struggling to comprehend the notion that the presence of Tesco will actually "raise standards." That's an oxymoron, surely.
I don't shop at Tesco here in the UK, and I won't shop at Tesco if it's there when I move back home, but if its arrival in Australia results in a price war from other supermarkets, I'll be delighted.

I heard they're setting up a UK retail village in North Sydney. M&S, Waitrose, Next, WH Smiths - even a greasy spoon cafe called The Golden Egg.

Beleive it or not... Tescos was one of the Highlights in my belief in the reinessance of the quality of life in the UK on my trip there after 16 years away.
I've yet to see a better Fishmongers type layout, at least around me here in Coburg and Brunswick.... Combine that with at least equal to the best everything else... Butchery, Bakery, Deli...... All at slightly cheaper prices than we get here. The Tescos I saw was Kingston Milton Keynes, which apparently is one of the biggest in the UK.
Pity they dont pack your bags for you though. Mind you they will have to once they get here eh
Pity the story is too good to be true. Maybe in ten years though.

lets all move to Oz so we can walk down a highstreet that looks like the UK. c'mon FFS, thats what most of us want to get away from.

Re: TESCO coming to Joondalup
Not bothered about Tesco - but certainly interested about the mention of Next coming to Australia - does anyone else know anything about Next opening a store, or extending their Directory service??

To be honest, the degree of excitement that results from an announcement like this is probably directly proportional to the likelihood of feeling very homesick and wanting to catch a flight home within the first few months of living in Australia.
Personally, I don't want to live in a pseudo-state and if I never see a Tescos again it will be too soon.
