What is Tesco?
By 1995, Tesco had become the largest food retailer in the UK, and is now market leader with over a 16% market share.In the 1990s, Tesco expanded into Scotland when it acquired a chain of 57 stores from William Low. In 1997 Tesco purchased 109 stores in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, which gave the company a market leadership both north and south of the border.
Tesco then started to expand its operations outside the UK. In Eastern Europe, it has met growing consumer aspirations by developing stores in Poland in 1995, Hungary in 1996, Slovakia in 1996 and the Czech Republic in 1996. Tesco has also expanded into Thailand in 1998 and South Korea in 1999 through a joint venture with Samsung Corporation.It opened in Taiwan in 2000, and has recently announced a move into Malaysia in 2001 in a joint venture with Sime Darby Sdn Bhd.(Information from Tesco corporate Web site) .
