Island 'still attractive to other retailers'
The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture doesn't believe Tesco's significant Isle of Man presence will deter other supermarket chains from considering opening shop here.
The acquisition of all nine Shoprite stores means the UK giant has representation across all parts of the Island.
But the Minister - Clare Barber - is confident other retailers could still find the Island an attractive market:
Storm Éowyn: major incident closed
More than 100 police incidents logged during violent storm force winds
Airport to stay closed as Storm Éowyn causes widespread disruption
Major incident declared due to number of trees down on-Island
Storm Éowyn: Major incident declared due to number of fallen trees
Violent storm force winds causing widespread disruption
Storm Éowyn: MU aware of power outage from Baldwin to Glen Helen
Gusts in excess of 90mph have been recorded in the south of the Island
