“Once we receive a feedback from our customers, we plan to take this service elsewhere as well,” the spokesperson told just-food.

Tesco is launching the concept because surveys indicate that Czechs are interested in buying food online. “It is a logical step which we have long planned as part of expanding our retail network,” the spokesperson explained. 

Local reports, meanwhile, suggest that Tesco could face competition from German retailer Makro which is said to be ready to start online sales this summer.
