Now Currys gadgets are on sale at Tesco

SUPERMARKET giant Tesco has struck a deal with Dixons Carphone to open a series of Currys PC World concessions in its biggest stores.

Britain’s biggest grocer said the partnership would see two of the electrical goods outlets opened in Tesco Extra stores.

The tie-up comes after Tesco announced a £3.7bn merger with wholesaler Booker, which is being probed by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority.

Rival Sainsbury’s last year cemented its own move into electricals with a £1.4bn takeover of Argos.

Grocers are battling to fill acres of space left behind after changing habits mean shoppers are shunning the weekly shop.

Sainsbury’s has introduced Patisserie Valerie counters, while Tesco has opened Dorothy Perkins, Burton and Holland & Barrett concessions.

Tesco’s latest tie-up will fuel speculation of even closer links between the two brands.

Matt Davies, UK chief executive of Tesco, said: ‘We think this is a winning combination and look forward to opening the first outlet in Milton Keynes in July.’
