Local authorities around the Island have been reacting to the news that Tesco is taking over Shoprite on the Isle of Man.
The retailing giant has bought all nine stores in a deal which is believed to put around 60 jobs, predominantly at head office, at risk.
Tesco is said to have taken 21-year leases on the premises around the Island but it’s led to questions about how much Manx produce will be stocked.
Rob Cowell, from Ramsey Commissioners, says Shoprite has been in the town for ‘decades’ supporting various good causes.
He believes change is inevitable:
Eating disorder support group to host first meeting
Online historic newspapers halted next month
Yellow warning for coastal overtopping
Weather forces Tough Mucka postponement
Police investigating Irish 'paedophile hunter' video
Updated rules for special constables due before Tynwald
Pre-election meeting in Marown next month
Microwave food leads to early hours callout for firefighters
