It is a name
Tesco is an abbreviation of Tessa Cohen, who was the wife of Tesco founder Jack Cohen.

The name has just been shortened over the years. But people still remember it's a persons name and call it Tesco's.

Simple.

And wholly untrue.

He didn't have a wife called Tessa.

She was called "Cohen-Cohen Cohen".

Who was a distant relation to Mrs Doyle.
