Tesco Says Ruling Won’t Affect Warehouse Operation

Tesco U.S. said it is reviewing a court order that would require additional environmental compliance at its Riverside, Calif., distribution center — a process that could take a year.

The ruling, from a U.S. District Court judge, said the chain must do more work at the 820,000-square-foot facility to satisfy environmental concerns raised in a complaint filed earlier this year.
