The first store is to open in Wokingham today (29 March), with nine more following throughout 2023.

All food will be prepared in stores, with both online delivery and click and collect available.

“We’re proud to partner with the UK’s biggest retailer to launch Kelly’s Market, pushing the boundaries of hot serve food in-store and bringing a choice of world cuisine to consumers through multiple channels,” KellyDeli UK managing director, Ian Roberts said.

“Consumers will be able to purchase hot or cold food-to-go in-store at select UK Tesco supermarkets, as well as via click & collect and delivery aggregators.”

Last month, the leading retailer closed all remaining fresh food counters with the spaces being repurposed to “better reflect customers’ needs”, following “a significant decrease in demand” over the last few years.
