:00:12. > :00:12.Jersey. The Alliance supermarket Jersey. The Alliance superm`rket
:00:13. > :00:15.group which already sells Tesco group which already sells Tdsco
:00:16. > :00:22.products in its Guernsey store, has been given a licence to trade in

:00:24. > :00:28.thirty jobs. Clare Burton has more. thirty jobs. Clare Burton h`s more.
:00:29. > :00:32.It's a globally recognised name And it's coming to Jersey. Tesco
:00:33. > :00:37.products will soon be on sale in new supermarkets cold Alliance ` like
:00:38. > :00:41.this one in Guernsey. The arrangement saw profits there soar `
:00:42. > :00:51.and the company is looking to repeat that success in Jersey. We were

:01:16. > :01:18.a second site, which could be as large as the biggest existing island

:01:36. > :01:39.will exercise the increased choice. Tesco may increase choice ` but the
:01:40. > :01:45.brand can be controversial. So how do shoppers feel about another big
:01:46. > :01:50.UK name in the island? I have just been to the UK recently, and the
:01:51. > :01:55.products are quite cheap. I think it is a very good idea. I am all for
:01:56. > :01:59.products coming onto the island that ordinary people can have bored.
:02:00. > :02:08.Prices on Jersey are far too expensive, there are far too many
:02:09. > :02:12.monopolies. Bosses insist the name above the door will remain that of
:02:13. > :02:15.the local company, Alliance. But the name on everyone's lips will be
:02:16. > :02:19.Tesco ` and if local shoppers follow the trend the world over, it could
:02:20. > :02:22.become one of the biggest names in Channel islands retail.

:02:33. > :02:33.significantly more expensivd than significantly more expensive than
:02:34. > :02:36.the UK. Earlier Jersey's Economic Development Minister Senator Alan
:02:37. > :02:43.McLean told me what Tesco brings to the island. It was identified in the

:02:56. > :02:59.point of view, this is a welcome move to drive prices down and
