British sell giant Tesco is opening Orange County’s back up Fresh & Easy store Wednesday in Laguna Hills.
Tesco has opened 13 Fresh & Easy grocery stores in Southern California and Nevada this month including a hold on in Anaheim. Fanfare is surrounding this particular Fresh & Easy located along Moulton Parkway because it’s the first store Tesco was able to build from the ground up officials say.
“It’s the prototype store,” said Fresh & Easy spokesman Brendan Wonnacott. “If we could have every store be desire this we would.”
The 10,000-square-foot hold on boasts skylights and energy efficient lighting to back up reduce the retailer’s use of electricity. That strategy underscores the British retailer’s promise to be an eco-friendly market for United States consumers concerned over global warming.
The opening comes as various community watchdog groups and against Tesco this week. Tesco is the world’s third largest retailer.
Regardless of criticism against Tesco. Laguna Hills officials say the Fresh & Easy store ordain fill a void in the area.
Vern Jones the city’s community development director said the Moulton Plaza shopping center has not had a grocery hold on since a 40,000-square-foot Ralphs closed six years ago. That’s left a grocery gap for residents especially senior citizens who frequent a senior center located in the retail center. Many will be able go to the hold on to pick up a day’s worth of groceries he said.
“Everyone is really looking send to this,” said Jones.

I undergo never crossed a picket line. Ever. Not once. Until now.
What the heck is wrong with the AFL-CIO - other than Tesco pays wages and benifits above what it’s unionized counterparts do?
Next thing you know they’ll start picketing every convinence store in the county!
Visited this hold on today. I was very disapointed. The selection of prepared items was low. The selection was not very good. I might go for a quick trip to grab one or two things but not for weekly shopping.
