Q. Which of the following is true about Tesco?

關於Tesco，以下哪項是正確的？(B)It is the third largest grocery retailer in the world. （B）它是世界第三大雜貨零售商。

Tesco is the largest British retailer and is also the world’s third largest grocery retailer with outlets across Europe, USA and Asia. The business began in 1919 with one man, Jack Cohen, selling groceries from a stall in the East End of London. Jack bought surplus stocks of tea from a company called T.E. Stockwell. T.E. Stockwell and Cohen combined their names to brand the tea Cohen originally sold TESCO tea. In 1929, the first Tesco store opened in north London. Tesco has expanded since then by a combination of acquisition of new stores, retail services and by adapting to the needs of consumers. Tesco has net profits (before tax) of around £3 billion. Tesco’s primary aim is “to serve the customer”. Keeping existing customers happy is important, as they are more likely to return. This is more cost effective for the business than acquiring new ones. In the UK Tesco now has over 2,200 stores ranging from the large Extra hypermarket style stores to small Tesco Express high street outlets. Tesco’s original product range of grocery and general merchandise has diversified to include banking, insurance services, electrical goods as well as telephone equipment and airtime. This move towards “one stop shopping” means customers can meet all their purchasing needs from one place. Tesco has also expanded its customer base through its website which attracts one million regular users.

特易購（Tesco）是英國最大的零售商，也是全球第三大雜貨零售商，在歐洲，美國和亞洲均設有分店。該業務始於1919年，當時只有一個人傑克·科恩（Jack Cohen）從倫敦東區的一個攤位出售雜貨。傑克從一家名為T.E.的公司購買了多餘的茶葉庫存。斯托克韋爾。 T.E.斯托克韋爾（Stockwell）和科恩（Cohen）合併了他們的名字，為科恩最初出售TESCO茶的茶打上了烙印。 1929年，第一家Tesco商店在倫敦北部開業。從那時起，樂購通過收購新店，零售服務以及適應消費者需求的組合而得到了擴展。樂購的淨利潤（稅前）約為30億英鎊。特易購的主要目標是“為客戶服務”。讓現有客戶滿意是很重要的，因為他們更有可能回購。對於企業而言，這比購買新企業更具成本效益。在英國，Tesco現在擁有2200多家商店，從大型Extra超市風格的商店到小型Tesco Express高街商店。特易購的雜貨和一般商品的原始產品範圍已經多樣化，包括銀行，保險服務，電子產品以及電話設備和通話時間。向“一站式購物”邁進意味著客戶可以從一個地方滿足所有購買需求。特易購還通過其網站擴大了客戶群，該網站吸引了100萬普通用戶。
