Isle of Cider says there is 'hope out there' following Tesco takeover
Manx food and drink producers are being urged to 'go where they are valued'.
That's the message from one company who supplies small local businesses on the Island.
It follows the announcement that Shoprite is selling all its stores to Tesco.
Isle of Cider doesn't supply either chain.
Philip Jolley is the chief executive and founder and says the announcement doesn't have to be bad news:
