The history of the Tesco name dates back over a century to its founder, Jack Cohen
The true meaning behind the Tesco brand name is only just being discovered by many of its UK customers. Despite being one of the largest supermarket chains in Britain, with millions of shoppers visiting its stores daily, few have pondered the origins of its name.
Cohen used his demobilisation money from the Royal Flying Corp, where he served during World War One, to purchase his first day's stock for the stall. The name Tesco was born in 1923 when Cohen bought a shipment of tea from a man named Thomas Edward Stockwell.
