Tesco Ireland was also the name of an earlier chain of stores in the Republic of Ireland acquired by Tesco in the early 1980s. These were originally founded by Albert Gubay as 3 Guys. In 1986, these were sold to the H Williams chain of supermarkets which subsequently collapsed. Many ended up as outlets of other chains.
