In Activity 1 I will be looking at Sainsbury’s in Warren Heath. Sainsbury’s in Warren Heath is a local store to many people and is one of 3 J Sainsbury PLC stores in Ipswich and is run from the Sainsbury’s headquarters in London. J Sainsbury PLC has 3 main competitors, Tesco with 29.1% of the market, Asda with 16.8% of the market and Morrison’s with 11.3% of the market. Sainsbury’s PLC is a public limited company which means that the company has its own identity in law and the CEO, who is Mike Coupe, is not liable if the company goes in debt, because it is a public limited company, the public can buy shares and be also part of J Sainsbury PLC which generates a profit, however if it is public than the public has the right to see all company of the company’s profits and expenses, including the amount they pay to their employees, how much they spent on stores and equipment, how much profit was gained and how was that money spent. Sainsbury’s is the oldest running grocery store in the UK; it was created by John James Sainsbury in London, on Dury Lane, it now operates over 1,200 stores throughout the UK and has around 161,000 colleagues. J Sainsbury PLC is made 6 different things; it is made up of Sainsbury’s Stores, Sainsbury’s Online, Sainsbury’s Property, Sainsbury’s Finance, Sainsbury’s Energy and Sainsbury’s Entertainment. We chose to research Sainsbury’s as we know ex-students who work in Sainsbury’s in Warren Heath, we can easily ask things we are uncertain about. We also had other opportunities to find out about Sainsbury’s in Warren Heath as we had a presentation delivered to us by Emma Sharman who is an employee of Sainsbury’s in Warren Heath.
