Under the partnership, Next opened a 4,300ft² concession stand with a basic range of men’s and women’s clothing inside Tesco Extra in Surrey Quays.
Tesco spokeswoman was quoted by Retail Gazette as saying: “We want to offer our customers the best possible choice and convenience when they shop with us.
“We have a number of partnerships in stores across the UK, complementing our existing Tesco products and services.”
Tesco previously worked with various companies, including electrical retailer Dixons Carphone, fashion retailer Arcadia and health foods retailer Holland and Barrett, for similar concession concepts.
