Tesco

Head office: United Kingdom

The British Group, Tesco, is the king of supermarkets in Britain. Tesco is made up of small grocery stores under the Tesco Metro brand name, big supermarkets outside cities (Tesco Extra) and 24-hour stores. Apart from being the national leader in the food sector, it is proud of selling everything to satisfy all its customers' needs - books, CD/DVD/mini-discs, hi-fi and household appliances, household equipment, flowers, wine, apparel, etc.

Tesco has adapted to the rapid technological changes. It makes an astonishing profit from its on-line sales site - Tesco.com. Tesco Express also owns petrol stations and provides financial services: a joint venture with the Royal Bank of Scotland enables it to offer life insurance and general insurance (home, car, pet, travel), credit cards and advantageous loan and savings schemes. Today Tesco is a global player.

It is well established in Ireland, Central Europe (Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic) and Asia (Thailand, South Korea, Japan and China).
