On January 31st, we sent an email to the members of our Friends of Fresh & Easy Rewards program updating them on the various news stories circulating about our stores.  The response has been overwhelming and we've never been more grateful for all of our customers and their enthusiasm for Fresh & Easy.  Below is what we sent and if you'd like to send us your thoughts, we'd love to hear from you.

"Dear friend,

Thank you for being a fan of Fresh & Easy. We wanted to reach out to you to address numerous news and online reports about the future of our stores. 

Our parent company Tesco is conducting a strategic review of Fresh & Easy - they're looking at all options to find the best outcome for the neighborhood market that you - and we - have come to love. While we don't know exactly what that outcome will be, or if Tesco will continue to own the company, we're confident that Fresh & Easy can continue to be your favorite market.

We want to assure you: we don't have plans to close stores. We're still committed to providing delicious, wholesome and affordable food every day. We're still Fresh & Easy; open for business with everything that you enjoy about our store, with even more exciting things to come. That's why we're going to keep on fighting the good food fight.

Now, more than ever, we appreciate your energy in our stores and being able to share a smile with you. We look forward to seeing you soon and thank you for your continued support.

The Fresh & Easy Team"
