In January 2017, it was announced that the supermarket retailer Tesco had agreed to purchase the company for £3.7 billion – resulting in Britain’s biggest retailer combining with the country’s largest wholesaler. The sale is expected to result in a further growth of market share by the Booker brand and to add new capabilities to Tesco’s current offering.

The Booker Group comprises Booker Wholesale, Makro, Booker Direct, Classic Drinks, Ritter Courivaud, Chef Direct, Premier, Family Shopper, Budgens, Londis and Booker India. In the last few years The Booker Group has increased its delivery capabilities,

In the last few years The Brooker Group has notably enhanced their delivery division by highlighting this as an area of growth and gaining several significant contracts left vacant by the collapse of the incumbent wholesaler, Palmer & Harvey, in November 2017.

The company also founded, and was previously a sponsor of, the Booker Prize (originally the Booker–McConnell Prize) for literary fiction, which was established in 1968. Giant Booker Limited has reported the following financial information for the last three years:
