Since then Tesco has increased its presence on the Island
Today marks one year since Shoprite made the shock announcement that it would be selling all nine of its stores to Tesco.

However, the transition has not been without controversy. Local producers have been calling for more support, while the government introduced measures to ensure Island suppliers could still stock their products on the shelves.
