The Tesco store is inside the Princes Risborough Conservation Area. Wycombe District Council's Conservation Area notes describe it thus: "The east part of Area 1 is occupied by the new Tesco supermarket which uses clay roof tiles, good bricks, some flint and natural slate to good effect. It replaced a garage and a 1930s public house in a poor neo-Georgian style and its car park is surrounded by brick walls west of the access and ornamental railings beyond. It is a successful building, only marred by the large sign within the glazed arch." The beige tablet in the gable end has the date 1996.
