    Give it time. Sterling won't stay low for ever and the Brits can't afford to keep their VAT rates down for ever. Tesco are BIG. They're in this for the long haul.

    I think Tesco will bring more business to the town.

    People will do their shopping in Tesco and then perhaps go up the town to a clothes shop or a cafe or get their lunch/dinner in the Bailie.

    As another poster said, the sterling rates wont last forever and it'll not always be cheaper up the north.

    It's all about competition and convenience.. We would go up to Asda ever few weeks for a major shop and then maybe Lidl/Aldi for the others.. We'll probably go to Tesco for the in-between and still go to Asda for the big'un..

    The competition is good for Super-Valu (not so Super-Valu), they have already increased their range and extended opening hours, we'll still go Tesco.

    For the likes of the Small stores in town I'd worry.. It will be hard to compete with Tesco for Fruit/Veg/Meat.. We'll still shop in town for them as the service offered by the smaller stores is great..

    Hopefully the cheap petrol will be at Tesco soon.. :)
