Description

Explore the evolution of British food retailing with The Making of the Modern Supermarket. This work by Oxford University Press examines how the American innovation of self-service was adapted to fit the postwar British context between 1950 and 1975. Learn how retailers experimented with larger formats during the early 1960s to create the supermarket model known today. The book tracks the development of different retail strategies, including the specific approach taken by Sainsbury's. As a late mover into self-service, Sainsbury's developed a unique model centered on fresh and perishable goods, leading to a distinct and more expensive path of development through significant investment in self-service infrastructure.
