I'd only ever heard of it through UK Atkineers, but apparently this new competition has bigger retailers (read: Wal-Mart) worried. Can anyone help to illustrate the difference between a Tesco and a regular US supermarket: Walmart, Giant, etc?

Re: Tesco is Coming to US
Well here is the Tesco UK site
http://www.tesco.com/
UK Supermarket ASDA was talen over by Walmart a couple of years ago - I don't know how much difference it made, but here is the site.
ASDA is reckoned to be a little cheaper than Tesco and Sainsbury (the other biggy)
