Tesco is the third largest retailer in the world (measured by revenue) with stores across UK, Europe and Asia. Tesco was founded in 1919 by Jack Cohen from a market stall in London’s East End and the name came from when he combined the three initials of a supplier of tea (T E Stockwell) with the first two letters of his surname!
Over the years our business has grown from 500 stores in the 1990s to more than 7,000 stores across 12 countries worldwide today. We now employ over 530,000 people and serve millions of customers every week.
