  J Sainsbury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sainsbury's was established as a partnership in 1869 when John James Sainsbury and his wife Mary Ann opened a store in Drury Lane in Holborn, London.
Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd. was established as a separate subsidiary of the group in March 1997 and remains the most significant part of J Sainsbury plc, despite diversification over the group's history.
Sainsbury's was for decades the premier supermarket in the UK, it lost this position however in 1995 to Tesco, further slipping to No.3 in 2003 behind Walmart-owned Asda.

 Observer | Dish of the day
Jamie's very close to his dad and Trevor installed his own work ethic in his son, giving Jamie jobs in the kitchen before he'd even started school, telling him that if he was a head chef at 45, he'd have gone wrong.
Jamie began helping out in the kitchen at five years old - cleaning out the back bins, bottling up - and by the time he was eight, he 'had a knife longer than my arm and I could cut like a bitch'.
Jamie has always had mentors - first his dad, then the owner of the Starr, then various chefs: Gennaro Contaldo, Rose Grey and Ruth Rogers from the River Cafe - and he knows that it was their encouragement and teaching that put him where he is now.

 Business | Sainsbury halts the slide
Sainsbury posted its second successive drop in profits yesterday but insisted it was on track to deliver "one of the UK's most extensive corporate recovery programmes".
When Sir Peter arrived Sainsbury's was suffering from chronic underinvestment and was judged to have lost its touch with "middle England" shoppers.

 Analysis: Don't ask Jamie Oliver if you need a recipe to save a Independent on Sunday, The - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Promotions were increased, television chef Jamie Oliver was drafted in as the chain's public face, but despite Sir Peter's claims that the cheeky mockney had won over customers, the marketing push proved to have little real impact.
Sainsbury's market share has fallen from 17.1 per cent in 2002, to 16.6 per cent in 2003 and to just 15.7 per cent this year, according to market research firm TNS-Superpanel.
Sainsbury's does not have the range or economies of scale to compete with Asda or Tesco, and most agree the upscale market, dominated by Waitrose and Marks & Spencer, Mr King's old company, is too narrow to support a third entrant.

 Sainsbury’s asks customers to ''Try something new today.''
LONDON - Leading supermarket chain Sainsbury's is on the verge on unveiling a massive makeover in its image.
Sainsbury's has shelled out £10 million for its new slogan "Try something new today." This slogan will be replacing its hallmark one of "Making life taste better." This move is the latest step in the supermarket giant's ambitious plans of increasing its sales profile by £2.5 billion by March 2008.
This massive campaign is only the fourth time since 1869 that Sainsbury's has gone in for an image makeover and comes in the wake of increased sales which grew by 1.9 percent in the 12 weeks to 18 June.

 Education | Jamie Oliver turns on Sainsbury's
Jamie Oliver last night criticised Sainsbury's - the supermarket chain for whom he fronts an advertising campaign - for continuing to sell Turkey Twizzlers, the controversial Bernard Matthews product which has been banned in many Scottish schools.
He turned on Sainsbury's during a debate in London to support his current TV series, Jamie's School Dinners.
Oliver said he had already taken action to improve school food in 30 schools in Greenwich, the south-east London borough where his series is mainly based, and they were changing menus at the rate of two schools a week.

Jamie Oliver’s wife, Jules, walked right past Sainsbury’s in favour of her local Waitrose store, even though her husband was being paid £250,000 a year to promote Sainsbury’s.
Sainsbury’s chief executive, Justin King, recently admitted the firm had been failing to stock its shelves properly after struggling with faulty distribution systems.
Maybe part of the decline in Sainsbury’s is all down to who they hire to do their television advertising.

Jamie Oliver's rise from cheeky TV chef to hard-hitting campaigner for better school dinners has been as mercurial as the man himself.
It was while he was a sous-chef at another top London restaurant, the River Café, that Jamie Oliver, easy-going, opinionated and knowledgeable, was 'discovered' by a BBC documentary team.
But today, through his programme Jamie's School Dinners, Oliver is bringing his infectious enthusiasm, popular influence and evangelical culinary zeal to bear on raising the quality of the food served in UK's schools, hoping to change the tastes of a generation of children in the process.

 Johnnie Moore's Weblog: Sainsbury's changes tack
And it's an approach that may backfire if consumers come to the perfectly reasonable conclusion that Sainsbury's previous message that they had to charge a little more than their rivals in order to achieve better quality was fundamentally false.
Sainsbury's is in danger of becoming the supermarket equivalent of the Conservative Party - willing to say just about anything they think the punters want to hear in a desperate bid to restore their fortunes.
The problem with Sainsbury's right now is their supply chain - an inability to get the right things in the right quanitities to ths shelfs at the right time.

The agreement followed a two and a half-hour occupation of Sainsbury's HQ by our pantomime cows and the Jamie look-alike, who also dumped a thousand pints of Sainsbury's own-brand milk onto the pavement outside.
They also searched for Sainsbury's senior management, who have been ignoring our requests for a meeting to discuss removing GE from their supply chain for the past six months.
The dumped milk was given to us by Sainsbury's customers angry at the company's policy after we conducted milk exchanges outside 20 Sainsbury's stores on the 8 May. Customers were given the chance to exchange their Sainsbury's milk for an organic alternative free of charge.

Jamie's new Sainsbury's adverts are actually seriously mouthwatering at the mo.
He was more directly involved in the decision to start spending some actually spending money on school dinners, but from there it's just been in the public interest, maintained by newspapers and just people with more than a two second memory.
Credit to Jamie for getting the public at large to give a toss in the first place (or at least kudos to whoever came up with the idea for his school dinners programme), but personally I've gone back to thinking of him as a largely irritating tosser.
