[11]

Sainsbury's exercised its option to acquire thirteen stores, which it occupied, from the company and its joint venture partner, British Airways Pension Trustees, in September 2021 [12] and then bought a further eight stores, which it occupied, from the company and its joint venture partner in January 2022. [13] The company raised an additional £175 million to buy supermarkets in April 2022. [14] [15]

By April 2022, the company had raised funds nine times for the purposes of building its portfolio of supermarkets; by that time the company owned 41 supermarkets directly and partially owned another 26 supermarkets through its joint venture with British Airways Pension Trustees. [16] [17]
