Tesco started life in 1919 when Jack Cohen started selling surplus groceries from a stall in the East End of London. Mr Cohen made a profit of £1 from sales of £4 on his first day.
The Tesco brand first appeared five years later in 1924 when he bought a shipment of tea from a Mr T. E Stockwell. The initials and letters were combined to form Tes-co and in 1929 Mr Cohen opened the flagship Tesco store in Burnt Oak, North London.
In the 60's the TESCO name increase substantially - One claim is that Albert Govay, the founder of the UKs first Discount Store KwiK Save worked with senior Tesco staff as a consultant when he decided to hand over the discount operation. This, it claims is when the surge in to the high street took place
