Live Blogging: The World Food Awards
Walmart Stores, Inc.'s ASDA grocery and general merchandise chain just won the 'Best National Retailer' in the United Kingdom (UK) award at the 2010 World Food Awards, which is currently going on at the tony Hilton Park Lane Hotel in London.
ASDA defeated Tesco and Sainsbury's for the honor at the annual awards ceremony, which some people like to call the 'Oscars' of British and European food industries.
The awards ceremony focuses on "the best" ethnic (or world) foods available for sale in the United Kingdom and Europe, along with honoring what the judges determine is "the best" food retailer in the UK.
ASDA is the second-largest food and general merchandise retailer in the UK. Tesco is number one. Sainsbury's is the third-largest, just slightly behind ASDA in market share.
