WGx.</em> The San Francisco Business Journal is reporting that the WG Fresh & Easy may only be the tip of the iceberg for Tesco’s presence in the Bay Area:

Europe’s supermarket kingpin broke ground Dec. 13 on its first Northern California store in San Francisco’s Bayview. While that store will not be open until 2009, the move into one of San Francisco’s underserved neighborhoods signaled that the British retailer is serious about its goal of serving every neighborhood in California. In addition to the Bayview property, Fresh & Easy is closing in on deals in Fairfield, Pacifica, Danville, and in the Willow Glen neighborhood in San Jose.

Brokers and developers say the company is blanketing San Francisco neighborhoods, chasing deals at new developments years away from completion as well as at vacant spaces ready to go.
