	J Sainsbury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		J Sainsbury plc is the parent company of Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd, commonly known as Sainsbury's, which is a chain of supermarkets in the United Kingdom.
		Sainsbury's was established in 1869 when John James Sainsbury (hence J Sainsbury plc) 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.

	BBC News \| The Company File \| Profits a store point for Sainsbury's
		Sainsbury's is contemplating taking over a Caribbean island to grow organic fruit: having just announced swingeing job cuts and poor profits, company chief executive Dino Adriano may want to use the island as an escape haven.
		Sainsbury was the undisputed market leader during the recession of the early 1990s, but bosses were caught napping.
		When young John Benjamin Sainsbury went into partnership with his father in 1915, it was the beginning of a famous dynasty, which has lasted to this day.

	Observer \| Is running Sainsbury's the worst job in Britain?
		Sainsbury's treated suppliers with considered brutality, hiding its own intentions and keeping suppliers ignorant as to what it might do to promote their brands.
		Sainsbury's began life in 1870 and six generations of family leaders, starting with Mr John, did an outstanding job leading a conservative, tightly drilled enterprise, setting best standards in cleanliness, service and food quality.
		But the attraction for Sainsbury's would be a return to a position where it could rebuild food quality strengths, consolidating its customer base in middle and upper class segments, where its reputation has lasted longest.

	New Statesman - The New Statesman Profile - The Sainsbury family
		John James, the son of a picture-frame maker, and Mary Ann, the daughter of a St Pancras dairyman, were a humble, hard-working couple who married in 1869 and opened a shop selling butter, eggs and milk at 173 Drury Lane.
		Created a peer as Lord Sainsbury of Preston Candover in 1989 and (most exclusive of all Establishment accolades) a Knight of the Garter in 1992, JD is best known for his patronage of the arts and architecture.
		Little is known of some of the other young Sainsburys - David has three daughters, all in their twenties - but all of them are understood to have followed the family habit of putting part of their inheritance into trusts through which to support the causes of their own choice.

		Beleaguered shareholders in J Sainsbury have had little to smile about recently: sales growth has stalled, the search for a new chief executive has been going on for what seems an age, and the long-promised turnaround is yet to arrive.

		Sainsbury flagged its so-called progressive dividend policy earlier this year, when Roger Matthews, the group's finance director, said: "Our aim is to deliver double-digit profit growth.
