Tesco Direct was a shopping catalogue and website operated by the British supermarket chain and retailer Tesco. It was supplying non-food goods such as homeware and consumer products with delivery or in-store collection through collection points in Tesco stores.[1] It was run in competition with Argos and Amazon.[2] Its final catalogue was published and printed in 2012.
Tesco Direct opened in 2006 and ceased trading on 9 July 2018.[3] When it closed it employed around 500 people.[4] Tesco described the loss-making service as having “no route to profitability” when announcing the closure.[5] Citing high costs of marketing and fulfillment for the service as responsible for the failure.[6]
