In the year 1947, the St.Albans branch of Tesco, which is a tiny shop by 21st century standards (consisting of 200 square meters only), was the first Tesco that is to be rehabilitated into self service.

The Parliament passed the Act in 1964 which is known as Resale Price Act, limiting the RPM, which remained in force for the pharmaceutical goods and books in 1979. Until the year 1970, Tesco was operating on the pile it high, and also selling it less expensive formula which was brought in from United States of America by Cohen.
