Tesco in Carlow are closed today and tomorrow and 'A new improved' store will re-open on Tuesday according to the signs

Every tesco in the country is closed, will be good to see if there will be much difference when they open again!!

There would have been multiple signs dotted around the shop OP, you were just too busy shopping to notice.

sdanseo · 27-07-2009 12:44AM

It's closed because they're reducing the prices by a third. Don't be so angry.

It's got a new improved even more chocolatey flavour, plus reduced fat.

I still won't shop there.

Makes two of us. It was handy when it was open 24 hours but now i don't shop there at all.

One of the Dun Laoghaire ones closed for two days, my shopping is now a hell of a lot cheaper.

If it's anything like my local Tesco, they're closed to move the Siúcra and Odlums down the bottom shelf and replace them with 'Silver Spoon' and 'Wrights'

And they are also hiding all the potatoes from what i hear.

I've heard from a reliable source*, that tescos are not reducing their profit margins at all but in fact forcing their suppliers to lower theirs.

*not a reliable source

There was loads of notice, you just didn't see it.

Cookie_Monster · 27-07-2009 11:29AM

Also the reductions are no where near as good as claimed. The Consumer Agency shop was only around 10% rather than 33% Tesco claim.

Whats an Arklow?
Sounds smelly

PinkLady001 · 27-07-2009 01:18PM

There was a huge big sign right at the door as soon as you walked in.
There were also signs on the glass front although I think they might have only went up over the weekend. The other one was there for ages though.

The prices in my local Tesco were already dropped and I saw no difference... Do I not by enough generic food or something?

OPENROAD · 27-07-2009 07:41PM

Have noticed very good price drops on non-Tesco branded goods,certainly items that I buy.

parker kent · 28-07-2009 09:40PM

In the Arklow one over the last few weeks they have been moving stuff around. Annoying when all you want is a dozen eggs! Judging by the other comments they must need two days to do it properly now. Also all the tesco's finest or anything remotely luxurious is not there anymore. I guess their "great savings" really means newly sourced cheaper crap No more Charles Worthington hair-gel for my Christys nights out!
