Tesco opened its newest store on Pozsonyi út in Budapest’s 13th district on March 1, the first day of the company’s new financial year. The Expressz store offers residents around 3,800 products and a premium selection, daily baked goods, fresh meat and delicatessen, and home delivery services within 30 minutes via Foodora and Wolt. The nearly 300-square-meter store, which provides employment for 16 people, will join the chain’s national food rescue program from the day it opens, and in cooperation with the Food Bank, it will donate leftover food that is still fit for human consumption to those in need in the area.

On March 1, Tesco opened its nearly 300 square meter store on Pozsonyi út in Újlipótváros (Budapest 13th district), which offers a selection of approximately 3,800 products, including premium products, free, vegetarian, vegan, salt, sugar and fat-reduced foods that support conscious nutrition, as well as fresh meat and delicatessen products, as well as locally baked pastries to the residents of the area and those who visit the store.

Quality selection, favorable prices

“Over the past 30 years, Tesco has continuously developed its operations in Hungary. We have opened approximately 200 stores across the country, most recently last fall next to Lake Velence. In the past year or two, we have opened 63 Tesco minishops at Shell gas stations. We were among the first to launch the online ordering and home delivery service, which is now available to around 2.7 million households nationwide. Last year, nearly fifty of our stores underwent renovations, and in November 2024, we handed over our new, 100,000 square meter, modern and environmentally friendly logistics center in Szigetszentmiklós. I believe that this investment worth 110 million forints will not only be an important milestone in the new financial year, but also in the next defining era of Tesco Hungary and will provide further impetus for everyone to have a Tesco in Hungary for growth,”

– said Zsolt Pálinkás, CEO of Tesco-Global Zrt.
