Summary

Tesco plans to open 70 new Express stores by March 2027.
Five former Amazon Fresh locations will be repurposed.
This expansion continues a trend of convenience store growth.

Tesco has unveiled ambitious plans to significantly grow its Express convenience store chain, with proposals for 70 new locations by March 2027. This expansion will see 60 Tesco Express stores already opened in 2025.

Among the new sites are five former Amazon Fresh stores in London. Amazon recently closed 19 of its Fresh locations as it refocuses on its online business.

Tesco currently operates over 2,000 Express stores. This move aligns with a broader trend in the grocery sector, where convenience store rollouts are accelerating. Shoppers are increasingly making fewer, smaller trips to stores, driving demand for accessible neighborhood outlets.
