A number of consumer, business and industry trade publications have recently picked up reports and stories from Fresh & Easy Buzz which were published in the blog this month (July, 2008).
Below are a few of those publications:
The London Telegraph Newspaper ran a story on July 29 based on our report about the Tesco Fresh & Easy grocery store to be built in Fresno, California being the first store in the chain (currently 67 stores) to incorporate local, community and neighborhood design elements in its design. The story quotes Fresh & Easy Buzz as first reporting the news. Read the London Telegraph story here.
