Tesco to axe 8,000 items from shelves
By Helen Knapman, Digital Deputy Consumer EditorTESCO is axing thousands of products in what's thought to be a bid to take on Aldi and Lidl.
The supermarket is ditching around 20 per cent of its current 40,000-strong product range over the rest of the year.This means around 8,000 items will disappear from shelves although the supermarket says new products will continue to launch over this time frame. Tesco says the changes are to avoid "duplication" where it stocks the same item but in different sizes or varieties.
It wouldn't give us a full list of examples, but did say it will look at products such as toilet roll and tomato ketchup where you can buy numerous different varieties in different sizes.Getty - ContributorIt doesn't explicitly say this is because it wants to rival the budget supermarkets but it could be seen as an attempt to do so.So trimming down its aisles could be a bid to match the wider, sparser aisles seen in Aldi and Lidl.
