From Market Stall to Global Giant: The Inspiring Origin of Tesco and Jack Cohen’s Vision

In post-WWI London, Jack Cohen, the son of Polish immigrants, started selling surplus groceries from a small market stall. With limited resources but a big vision, he combined the initials of his tea supplier, T.E. Stockwell, with the start of his name, creating "Tesco." This humble beginning led to one of the world’s largest supermarket chains, transforming the way people shop and solidifying Cohen’s legacy as a pioneer in modern retail.
