Tesco launches ‘one-stop shop’ online marketplace

Tesco has announced the launch of Marketplace, which will give customers the opportunity to shop thousands of products from its brand partners online alongside groceries. 

The launch follows a trial phase with Tesco colleagues over the past couple of months, who tested and learned how customers will use the platform. 

This week’s initial launch offers around 9,000 products across ranges such as garden and DIY, home accessories, cook and dine, toys and pets. 

According to Tesco, further products and ranges will be added over the coming months as Marketplace expands and evolves to meet customer shopping needs. 

Marketplace builds on the retailer’s success as the UK’s “leading” online grocer, offering over 22 million Clubcard members and 1.2 million orders each week on Tesco.com. 

The launch also represents the next step in making shopping with Tesco “even more convenient for customers”, with even more products available in one place to make itself a “one-stop shop” for everything customers need.

Peter Filcek, Marketplace director at Tesco, said: “This is a really exciting moment as we expand our online offer – making it even more convenient for customers to shop at Tesco and even more rewarding with customers able to collect Clubcard points on all purchases.

“We’re constantly looking at ways to improve the shopping experience for our customers, and our new Marketplace offers them the same great quality and value they have come to expect from Tesco across an even bigger range of products, from our specially-selected partners.” 

He added: “We look forward to expanding the range of products and brands even more over the coming months.”
