Tesco distribution center in Riverside delayed but progressing

“Permit and planning problems have held up construction of a sprawling Riverside distribution center for supermarket giant Tesco PLC and two suppliers. But the British retailer says the delays won’t significantly affect its billion-dollar U.S. plans. One of the world’s largest grocery companies, Tesco doesn’t operate any U.S. stores right now. But it intends to open 100 to 150 in 2007 and 2008, and compete with Vons, Ralphs, Albertsons, Stater Bros., Traders Joe’s and others.”
