Sadly the only one who is running this story at the minute is Murdoch's rag The Times so unless you're a paying member of their site (or have parents who refuse to end their subscription) you wont see this story at the minute. The best I can do is a retail news site linking to the story.
In essence what has happened is that Tesco used a front company to buy up a city centre, deliberately ran it down, forced potential rivals out of business etc and then won the regeneration contract to repair all the damage they inflicted. Fans of The Wire or The Sopranos may find this story somewhat familiar.
If this story goes anywhere I'll keep you updated.
