Tesco has initiated several new programs in Slovakia. In late September 2026, the Tesco Foundation launched the seventh edition of its ‘Záchranári jedla’ (Food Saviors) grant program, providing 30,000 euros to combat food waste. This initiative, marking the company’s 30th anniversary in the country, offers grants between 6,000 and 10,000 euros to various organizations.

In October 2026, the company introduced ‘Tesco Hneď’, a rapid grocery delivery service promising delivery within 60 minutes. Utilizing Wolt couriers for fulfillment, the service focuses on immediate needs and urgent, smaller orders. Initially operational in five Bratislava stores, the service is undergoing a phased expansion. Starting October 27, it will extend to 24 additional stores in regional and district towns, including Zvolen, Poprad, and Piešťany. By November 11, the rollout is expected to reach a total of 51 locations. To encourage adoption, Tesco is offering free delivery on orders with a minimum value of 12 euros until December 15, 2026, after which a 1.99 euro fee will apply.

Furthering its physical retail presence, Tesco opened a new 600 m² supermarket in Raková on October 22, 2026. This facility, which includes four self-service stations, brings the company’s total store count in Slovakia to 189.
