Wal-Mart U.S. to Test Smaller Grocery StoresWal-Mart Stores Inc. will open four small-format grocery stores under the name "Marketside" to rival British retailer Tesco. According to Wal-Mart, the new 20,000- sq.-ft. units will open in Arizona this year and are aimed at shoppers who find big stores inconvenient. Some industry observers believe the new format stores are Wal-Mart's way of competing with Tesco's new Fresh & Easy stores just opened in the United States.
