Tesco ends Fred’s Food Construction format
Tesco has parted ways with Fred’s Food Construction, the deli-diner concept led by Paul Goodale, former director of restaurants at Harrods. Both Fred’s sites in the Tesco Express in Philpot Lane and at the Tesco Extra in Osterley closed over the weekend.

Tesco have been a supportive partner over the past year.” [...]
