Sainsbury’s supermarkets are one of the leaders in food and drink selling in Britain. It has about 12% of the market and suggests good food and wine. Most of the 246 supermarkets and 46 homebase stores, which see Do-It- Yoursef goods, are in the richest part of England. There are no Sainsbury’s stores in Scotland and Wales.

W. H. Smith is a national chain of shops which sells newspapers and maga­zines. Smith’s also sell books, videos, stationary, pens and office equipment.

Tesco was founded by J. Cohen who used to say “I pile it high, sell it cheap”to explain the great success of his supermarkets. Today the cut-price image has remained and the name “Tesco” is often used to mean anything cheap and un­sophisticated. There are 396 stores with about 80,000 employees. Today Tesco has an expensive advertising campaign in an effort to upgrade its image.

Woolworth’s is an American chain store. The stores used to sell a wide range of goods including food, furniture, CDs, toys, sweets, clothes and paint. Woolworth’s now sells a small range of profitable goods, such as children’s clothes, sweets, videos and make-up. It has a clever advertising campaign which concentrates on videos and CDs and always uses the same simple for­mula. This attracts people into Woolworth’s, to buy other things.
