Sales Fall Again For Tesco |
|
Despite an increase in money-off coupons and a blitz on customer services, Tesco has reported another quarter of falling sales in the UK.
Analysts have described as “disappointing” the 1.5% declines in like-for-like sales, excluding petrol and VAT, in the 13 weeks to 26 May. This means Tesco's domestic chain have now posted a full year of falling sales.
- - - - - - Advertisement - - - - - - Two months ago chief executive Philip Clarke announced a £1bn makeover of the UK chain designed to "put the heart and soul back into Tesco" after domestic profits declined for the first time in more than 20 years. With more than 2,700 stores, Tesco's domestic chain pumps out two-thirds of the group's profits and Clarke admitted it had taken "a little bit too much away from the shopper" during years of penny-pinching to boost the bottom line.
Clarke described the UK chain's performance as "steady" and improving "relative to the market", adding that it was still early days in the turnaround as “very little” of the £1bn had been spent.
