Tesco Ireland Limited is the Irish subsidiary of supermarket group Tesco. Tesco Ireland was formed by Tesco plc's 1997 purchase of the Irish retailing operations of Associated British Foods, namely Powers' Supermarkets Limited and its subsidiaries, trading as Quinnsworth and Crazy Prices. There are 152 Tesco stores in operation in Ireland as of August 2018.[1] Tesco had approximately 21% of the Irish grocery market in 2021 and its main competitors are Dunnes Stores and SuperValu.[2]
Tesco operates full-sized supermarkets under the main Tesco brand, smaller urban stores under the Tesco Metro banner, hypermarkets as Tesco Extra, a small number of convenience stores as Tesco Express, as well as internet shopping service Tesco.ie. It previously operated several petrol stations, which were divested in August 2019 to DCC plc. In 2007, the company launched its mobile telephone service, Tesco Mobile. Tesco Ireland operated a number of 24-hour stores, but has abandoned 24-hour opening as of 2014, with all stores closed from 00:00-06:00.
