Overview of Tesco’s

Tesco is one of the largest food retailers in the world, operating around 2,318 stores and employing over 326,000 people. It provides online services through its subsidiary, Tesco.com. The UK is the company’s largest market, where it operates under four banners of Extra, Superstore, Metro and Express.  Tesco has expanded since then by a combination of acquisition of new stores, retail services and by adapting to the needs of consumers.
