Tesco in Wrexham.
Tesco was founded in 1919 by Jack Cohen as a group of market stalls. The Tesco name first appeared in 1924, after Cohen purchased a shipment of tea from T. E. Stockwell and combined those initials with the first two letters of his surname, and the first Tesco store opened in 1931 in Burnt Oak, Barnet.


In the 1960s they acquired 212 branches of Irwin stores including the one at High Street, Wrexham.
