Tesco
UK retail giant
Tesco is a British multinational grocery and general merchandise retailer, one of the largest supermarket chains in the world.
Founded in 1919, it dominates the UK retail market and operates in several other countries.
The name has become somewhat generic in British English for grocery shopping generally: I need to do a Tesco run.
Like other major supermarkets, Tesco functions as shorthand for the store itself, its products, or the shopping experience.
