 PROFILE
Tesco is proof of the good a little dressing-up can do. The company runs more than 840 supermarkets, superstores, and convenience stores in the UK (where it is the #1 food retailer), Ireland, Central Europe, and Asia. Built on the "pile it high and sell it cheap" philosophy of founder Sir Jack Cohen, Tesco abandoned its discount format, with its downmarket image, for a variety of dressier mid-market formats. Its operations include convenience and gasoline retailing (Tesco Express), small urban stores (Tesco Metro), hypermarkets (Tesco Extra), and financial services (through a joint venture with the Royal Bank of Scotland). A global leader in online grocery sales, it has bought a 34% stake in Safeway's GroceryWorks.
