The store first opened its doors in the early 1990s, but in 2008, it underwent a major expansion. This move was part of Tesco’s broader strategy to increase its market presence and offer a more extensive product range to customers. Tesco Extra stores, which are larger than standard Tesco supermarkets, provide a wider selection of items including groceries, clothing, electronics, and household goods.
The Clifton Road expansion involved significantly enlarging the existing store (as highlighted by the image below showing a noticeable roof extension). This expansion aimed to meet growing customer demand and enhance the shopping experience by modernising the store layout, broadening the product range, and introducing new services like a café and a pharmacy. During this period, Tesco was focused on expanding its footprint to dominate the retail market, investing heavily in its stores across the UK to maintain a competitive edge and adapt to evolving consumer preferences and increased competition from other retail giants.
