Pros and cons of a Castletown Tesco store

Thursday, 3 November 2011 16:32

A Tesco Express store is due to open in Callow's Yard early next year.

Site owner Roy Tilleard says it will create 20 jobs, adding that 'competition is no bad thing'.

But traders are concerned about the impact the new outlet could have on existing businesses.

These shop owners told Manx Radio why they were worried about the store's expansion down south (first part of audio file):
