We'd never have guessed this!
Do you know what Tesco really means? Some of us nip down to our local Tesco supermarket daily for a meal deal, or weekly to do a big grocery shop — so it’s fair to say we’re pretty acquainted with the brand. We could recognise the iconic blue and red logo from a mile away, and know off the top of our heads that the company’s slogan is ‘every little helps’. But there’s one thing many of us probably don’t realise about the retailer, and that’s where the name came from and what it actually means.
London has the most Tesco stores in the country, with 321 locations in total. Another brand that has a rather surprising meaning behind its name is B&M. Customers often mistakenly think the retailer’s name is Bargains & More, but this isn’t the case. Did you know the origin of Tesco’s name before reading this article?Comment Now When the company was founded back in 1978, it was originally called Billington & Mayman, named after its founders, Malcolm Billington and Brian Mayman.
