The Fresh & Easy grocery chain will purchase two large U.S. suppliers, 2 Sisters Food Group and Wild Rocket Foods, and take over the companies' Inland operations, a move the company said will create an integrated campus at its distribution center off Interstate 215 near Riverside.
Fresh & Easy, a division of U.K.-based Tesco, entered the U.S. market in 2007 with small, neighborhood markets that offer quick-service shopping and take-home, heat-and-serve meals.
Tesco brought both companies to the U.S. as its primary suppliers of meat, fish, poultry and produce.
Now, the grocery chain will take over the suppliers' operations, transferring all of their 750 employees to the Fresh & Easy payroll.
