  • A Historical Look at the Shops – Past and Present in the Colchester Town Centre Area
    A HISTORICAL LOOK AT THE SHOPS – PAST AND PRESENT IN THE COLCHESTER TOWN CENTRE AREA 1 INTRODUCTION Having written about walking around our town and others over Christmas and the month of January, looking at churches in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk, the weekend of 1st and 2nd February 2014, saw me writing and photographing the main shops in our town of Colchester and trying to find out the National History of the businesses. So here is my story again …… 99p STORE (84-86 Culver Street East) 99p Stores Ltd. is a family run business founded in January 2001 by entrepreneur Nadir Lalani, who opened the first store in the chain in Holloway, London, with a further three stores opening later that year. In 2002, Lalani decided to expand the business throughout the UK and has rapidly developed 99p Stores, operating a total of 129 stores as of March 2010 and serving around 1.5 million customers each week, undercutting their main rival Poundland by a penny. As of mid-2009 the company offered more than 3,500 different product lines throughout its stores. Most of their stores are based in the south of the UK, although there are stores as far north as Liverpool and Hartlepool. The chain saw accelerated store expansion upon the collapse of Woolworths Group, where they took the opportunity to acquire 15 of these former stores, increasing their estate to 79 at that time. Landlords are now regarding 99p Stores as an anchor tenant due to the significant number of customers one of their stores can bring to a location.

  • From Corner Store to Superstore: a Historical Analysis of Sainsbury's Co-Evolution
    From Corner Store to S uperstore: A Historical Analysis of Sainsbury’s Co-Evolution Journal: Journal of Management History Manuscript ID JMH-04-2017-0017.R1 Manuscript Type: Research Paper Keywords: Co-evolution theory, Sainsbury’s, Sainsbury From Corner Store to Superstore: A Historical Analysis of Sainsbury’s Co-Evolution Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this study is to explore the conceptualisation of co-evolution using a corporate history research approach. While the application of the co-evolutionary perspective to the organisational-environmental relationships has uncovered significant evidences, little is understood about how the co-evolutionary process occurs over time between organisations and their institutional environment. Design/methodology and approach – A co-evolutionary corporate history approach in employed as we investigated Sainsbury’s historical trajectory, exploring the role specific family members played in the evolution of the firm and the co-evolution of Sainsbury with its environment. This research design framework encompasses longitudinal archival analysis which incorporates both external and internal engagement which fostered Sainsbury’s joint evolution. Findings – Findings from this study clearly suggests that certain organisations can and do co-evolved with their environment. However, organisations need to build legitimate cases for co-evolution to occur. In addition, they need to acquire certain resources that can be employed to stimulate changes within their institutional environment. Originality/value – Through a corporate history archival analysis, this study presents a UK company’s, evolutionary narrative. The authors contribute to the growing literature on co- evolution in management studies by presenting a detailed historical narrative and interpretation of Sainsbury’s evolution at different time periods.

  • J Sainsbury Plc and the UK Food Retail Industry
    J. Sainsbury plc and the UK food retail industry This long case builds on issues introduced in Minicases 4.7 (p.192) and 10.8 (p.478) and covers themes from the whole book. There are four accompanying questions and five associated tasks which require you to use the Internet. Naturally your insight into the issues would also benefit from a visit to a Sainsbury’s store. A commentary on the four questions is provided later. BACKGROUND Founded in 1869 by John James and Mary Ann Sainsbury, J Sainsbury plc has become one of the largest food retailers in the UK. Its origins date back to one of the poorest regions in London and it gained its reputation for selling high quality products at low prices. It was as far back as 1882 when its strategy of high quality products at premium prices in more affluent areas began to develop. Facing serious competition from larger chains, the founder expanded threefold between 1890-1900 so that he could benefit from purchasing economies of scale and compete with contemporary rivals such as Liptons. From then on the company, still under family control grew from strength to strength. By the 1970s it had reached the scale of operation that merited public status and as such was the biggest ever flotation on the stock market in 1973. Family descendant John Sainsbury was Chairman during this period – he remained in control from1969 until 1992. During his stewardship the company pursued a strategy of growth through market development into new geographic areas and new store development in the shape of large out of town outlets, beginning with Telford and Cambridge.
