Jack's was a British discount supermarket chain based in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, owned by Tesco.
History
Named after Tesco founder Jack Cohen, Jack's was established in 2018 to compete with less expensive supermarkets like Lidl and Aldi. The first stores were opened in Chatteris and Immingham on 20 September 2018. Initial plans were to open between ten and fifteen stores within six months of launching; ultimately, only fourteen stores were opened across the UK.
From May 2019, selected products from Jack's stores were made available in those of Tesco.
Following what it claimed was research and the solicitation of customer feedback, in September 2019, Tesco announced that the store in Rawtenstall would be reverted to a Tesco. In January 2022, it was announced that Jack's as a whole would be wound down, with six stores becoming Tescos and the remaining seven closing. The first stores were closed on 7 March, and the final stores closed on 25 March. The brand lives on through products distributed to other supermarkets by Tesco subsidiary Booker Group.
