Second Iceland store set for St Peter Port
Alliance announced a second Iceland Foods shop would open in September at the Rectory House in Market Square, St Peter Port, replacing charity shop Health Connections.
The first Food Warehouse outside the UK opened at Braye Road at the start of 2025 as part of Alliance's new franchise agreement with Iceland Foods.
Keiran Poole, operations director at Alliance, said customer assistance positions and store management roles would be recruited for.
He said: "We're pleased to be opening a second Iceland location in Guernsey, this time right in the centre of St Peter Port - the new store has been designed with town centre shoppers in mind.
"We're also growing our team on the island with a number of new roles, and we look forward to welcoming customers to the store later this summer."
Justin Addison, international and partnerships director at Iceland Foods, said the new shop would be "helping to support the community while expanding our presence in the Channel Islands".
CEO of Health Connections Bella Farrell said the charity's shop currently at the site would "pop up again somewhere else at some point" and that there would be no job losses.

The world's second-largest brewer said Monday that the volume of beer it sold for the June quarter was down 0.4% on an organic basis. Analysts had expected a 0.3% organic decline in beer volumes, according to consensus estimates provided by the company.

Welcome to the Grocery Store Where Prices Change 100 Times a Day
Shoppers in Norway are used to seeing prices at the grocery store change in front of their eyes. On electronic labels that line the shelves, the listed price for eggs or milk fades, the screen blinks and a new figure flashes up, all in a matter of seconds. Prices can change up to 100 times a day at Reitan's REMA 1000-branded grocery stores across Norway—and more often during holidays. The idea is to match or beat the competition with the touch of a button, says REMA 1000's head of pricing, Partap Sandhu. 'We lower the prices maybe 10 cents and then our competitors do the same, and it kind of gets to [be] a race to the bottom.'

Trump claims he's made a ‘massive' trade deal with Japan
President Donald Trump boasted Tuesday that he had made a 'massive' deal with Japan that would generate 'thousands of jobs' and billions of dollars for the U.S. The president announced the trade framework – 'perhaps the largest Deal ever made' – in a Truth Social post Tuesday, revealing that a 15 percent tax on goods imported from Japan had been agreed. In the post Trump said Japan would invest 'at my direction' $550 billion into the U.S. and would 'open' its economy to American-made vehicles as well as 'rice' and 'other things.' But further details remained scant. The 15 percent tax on imported Japanese goods is a significant drop from the 25 percent rate that Trump, in a recent letter to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, said would be levied starting on August 1. 'This Deal will create Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs — There has never been anything like it,' the president posted on Truth Social, adding that the United States 'will continue to always have a great relationship with the Country of Japan.' 'This is a very exciting time for the United States of America, and especially for the fact that we will continue to always have a great relationship with the Country of Japan. Thank you for your attention to this matter!' Early Wednesday in Tokyo, Japanese Prime Minister Shigera Ishiba confirmed the new trade agreement, saying it would benefit both sides and help them work together. 'The government was determined to protect national interests,' Ishiba told reporters, per the Wall Street Journal. Trump's announcement appeared to excite investors, with the benchmark Nikkei – the Tokyo stock market – climbing 2.6 percent to its highest in a year, with shares of automakers also surging. Toyota grew by more than 11 percent, with Honda and Nissan both up more than 8 percent. But American automakers were less buoyed with the deal, with concerns raised over low import levies from Japan, compared to tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico remaining at 25 percent. Matt Blunt, head of the American Automotive Policy Council, said, "Any deal that charges a lower tariff for Japanese imports with virtually no U.S. content than the tariff imposed on North American-built vehicles with high U.S. content is a bad deal for U.S. industry and U.S. auto workers.'
