Sainsbury's managing director of convenience Jim McCarthy said: 'These are quality stores in good locations and they fit perfectly with our commitment to grow sales in our convenience business by£400 million by the end of 2008.'
Last year, Sainsbury's made aggressive strides in the convenience market, snapping up Bells, Jacksons and Beaumont. The Shaw deal builds on the grocer's existing 265 c-store portfolio and a command of 1.9 per cent share of the£24 billion convenience market.
