One customer took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and reached out to Tesco directly to explain the name.
Tesco replied: “It used to be called Florence and Fred, although over time it’s just come to be F&F.
“Hope this helps.”
One shopper shared their surprise, saying: “I thought F&F in Tesco stood for friends and family.”
F&F, or Florence & Fred, launched in Tesco’s UK and Ireland supermarkets in 2001.
Although it started as a small section in a handful of Tesco stores, it has since expanded to be one of their most well-known ranges.
Coming back online?
It’s understood that the supermarket will be making a big change to its affordable collection for the first time in six years.
According to Drapers, customers will soon be able to order clothes from the F&F range directly through the Tesco website, instead of having to shop in stores.
Shoppers have been reacting to the news and seemed excited about being able to get the latest snug winter coat and cute dresses.
This was previously the case six years ago, but was stopped in 2018.
The publication claimed the clothing range will be go live later this year on the Tesco Marketplace, which was introduced in June.
This features 9,000 products across homeware, toys and DIY.
Fabulous contacted Tesco for comment, and a spokesperson replied: “We’re always looking for ways to improve our online offer for customers and we’ll keep them posted if and when we have anything to share”.
