Our purpose

We make good food joyful, accessible and affordable for everyone, every day

When John James and Mary Ann Sainsbury opened their first store in 1869, they offered delicious, great quality food at competitive prices. Over 150 years later, inspiring and delighting our customers with tasty food remains our priority. We know that good food really matters to people’s health and happiness. This is why our customers choose to shop with us; we make sure shopping is as affordable, accessible and as convenient as it can be.
