Tesco is amongst the largest food retailers in the United Kingdom (U.K) with over 3,400 stores and staff amounting up to 310,000. Tesco operates predominately in Europe and America with their headquarters located in the U.K. Tesco has the greatest market share in the U.K dominating approximately 28% of the overall market at the end of 2017. However, there is a constant battle in the highly competitive U.K supermarket industry with the four major players being Tesco, Sainsbury, ASDA and Morrisons.
