*The new retail format ‘Jack’s’ will be operated separately from the core Tesco business and as such the benefits offered will be different from those offered at Tesco

In 1919, Tesco’s founder Jack Cohen, fresh from serving in the Royal Flying Corps in World War I, took his £30 demob money and bought armed forces surplus stock to sell on his stall in Hackney, East London. 

Jack had an eye for a deal and an intuition for what his customers needed.  His stall was famous for making affordable food available to everyone. 

Today at Jack’s his legacy lives on in great-tasting food at low prices.  As part of the Tesco family, Jack’s will stock a unique own brand range, also proudly named Jack’s as a mark of quality and value. We have a no fuss approach with a simplified range of products, no fancy fixtures or fittings, and no added extras, just good great-tasting quality products at low prices.
