| 集团简介： |
乐购又译特易购(TESCO)公司成立于1932年，是英国最大的零售公司，也是世界三大零售商之一。除了在英国本土的691家大型购物中心外，该公司42%的店铺分布于中欧与东南亚各国，是个国际化的超市巨人。截至2005年2月26日的2004年财年，Tesco的税前利润增长了21%达到20亿英镑。370亿英镑的销售额也比上一财年增长12%。2004年底圣诞大采购时，特易购更是出色的吸引了大批顾客，使得其老对手J.Sainsbury阵和William Morrison Supermarkets PLC黯然失色。在过去7年里英国市场经历了风风雨雨：极具侵略性的沃尔玛打入了英国市场，本土著名零售商Safeway被William Morrison Supermarkets PLC收购，而超市业更是受到了竞争委员会的两次调查。但这些特易购都一一度过。特里·莱希感慨道：“对零售业来说，每一天都是全新的一天，你总有机会把事情做好。”这与特易购的Logo“细微之处见帮助（every little help）”正好不谋而合。
Tesco operates 923 stores and employs 240,000 people, giving us access to a population of 260 million across our nine markets. Over the past five years, we have expanded from our traditional UK supermarket base into new countries, products and services, including a major non-food business, personal finance and internet shopping. The increasing scale and internationalization of our sales and purchasing operations makes a significant contribution to our efficiency and profitability, as we progress towards our long-term goal of becoming a truly international retailer.
