Tesco: Portfolio and quick helpline



Wondering what does the Tesco stands? Do you how it came into being? Well, Tesco is third most money-spinning grocery vendor which came into existence in the year post World War 1, 1919. Tesco name is built of two portions, TES and the CO. Former, TES, found its place when Cohen bought his first tea shipment from the supplier Thomas Edward Stockwell. Hence, TES arrived from letters of the Supplier’s name and the remaining CO was taken from the surname of the founder John Cohen. That is how the word Tesco came into being. Tesco has expanded a lot from the small stall it used to be in the Well Street Market situated in Hackney, to having about seven thousand stores across the world. Started by selling surplus groceries following the World War 1, it now has its own brand of items available in various stores across the globe. The expansion gave birth to various store portfolios based on the nature and size of the business.
