The Co-operative Group is now the fifth largest food retailer in the UK, operating mainly smaller supermarkets and convenience stores, followed by Waitrose in sixth place.

Marks and Spencer, Booths and Waitrose are the most upmarket national supermarket chains (although the former is also the UK’s largest clothing retailer, and thus often is not perceived as a supermarket).

Premier Supermarkets, a subsidiary of Express Dairies, opened UK’s first supermarket in Streatham, South London in 1951.
