Todays November word.
Grocery shopping, not my favourite kind of shopping, but something we all have to do!
Tesco was founded in 1919 by Jack Cohen, as a group of Market stalls in Hackney, London. The Tesco name first appeared in 1924, after Cohen purchased a shipment of tea from TE Stockwell & combined those initials with the first two letters of his surname. The first Tesco shop opened in Burnt Oak, Barnet, in 1931. Today they are one of four largest supermarket chains in the country. People will have their own preferences, but basically they are pretty much the same.
Took this yesterday evening when I picked up a few things that I needed. This is a relatively small supermarket, as they go , but it’s local, only 5 miles from home. The sky was quite interesting too.
Well you can’t miss that Carole! I never knew how Tesco came to have its name so I’ve learnt something! I like all shopping so love places like Tesco!
Our nearest one is about eight miles away & it’s a super store. I shop 8n Aldi, Booths or occasionally Sainsburys & of course Tesco if I’m ever over that way!
@busylady not according to Mr Google - which probably means you are correct 😂 having said that, there was a documentary about them a few months ago & they agreed with Google. @happypat Booths must me a northern one? Don’t know that one. If I want something extra nice for a special occasion I go to Waitrose.
When visiting other countries, one of the first things I enjoy is going to a grocery store and seeing the differences! Where we live in Orange Cty California, even there were have a variety of fully-stocked stores for different ethnicities, and those are intriguing as well!
Love the contrast of the sky with the bright lights of the shop. The documentary on Cohen was fascinating; he revolutionised supermarket shopping in this country.
