Tesco

The first person that started Tesco’s was Jack Cohen who originally owned Tesco’s. Jack Cohen was the son of a Jewish sailor. On the first day of selling stock at the market he made a profit of one pound. When he made money he used the money to buy goods. He bought goods that other store didn’t sell in their store.

Jack Cohen was the person who founded the name for Tesco, after he bought a large shipment of tea in 1924. He used the three first letters from the name of the tea suppliers name “T.E” stock well and add his own surname then this formed the “Tesco”. By 1939 he opened hundred of stores. When he opened hundred of stores he went to America for holiday, he found out that the stores there were self service, he used this idea in his stores and this saved him lots of money on shop staff wages. When he found that this method was successful he invited his son Critman in law to join his business.
