Market Position/ History

Tesco's journey began in the early 1900s when Jack Cohen sold surplus groceries from a market stall in London. In the 1920s, Cohen expanded his business by opening his first store, which laid the foundation for what would eventually become the UK's largest supermarket chain. By the 1930s, Tesco had earned recognition, focusing on sourcing quality products from London. The 1940s marked significant growth for the company when Cohen acquired land to expand his store network. In the 1950s, Tesco pioneered self-service shopping, enhancing the overall customer experience and setting a new standard in retail practices.

The 1960s saw rapid expansion, with Tesco stores opening all over the UK. By the 1970s, the company had become a household name, although it also faced the loss of its founder, Jack Cohen, who passed away in 1979. The 1980s introduced ‘Checkout 82,’ a price-cutting initiative designed to provide better value to customers. The 1990s were a period of transformation for Tesco, as the company expanded internationally and adopted the slogan “Every Little Helps.” By the 2000s, Tesco's growth enabled it to offer even better value, solidifying its position in the market. In the 2010s, the company focused on enhancing the customer experience, maintaining its commitment to customer-centric strategies.
