Tesco halts US store openings amid 'stock shortage' claim

Supermarket giant Tesco is to delay opening Fresh & Easy Neighbourhood Market stores in the US for three months as an expert claimed the retailer was experiencing huge stock shortages.

Tesco, the UK’s largest retailer with more than 2,800 stores in 12 countries, said it intended to use the pre-planned break to smooth out unspecified problems at existing US stores.
