J Sainsbury plc, trading as Sainsbury’s, is a British supermarket chain and the second-largest supermarket in the United Kingdom.

Founded in 1869 by John James Sainsbury with a shop in Drury Lane, London, it was the largest UK grocery retailer for most of the 20th century. However, in 1995, Tesco overtook Sainsbury’s as the market leader. Sainsbury’s was further overtaken by Asda between 2003 and 2014, and briefly again in 2019.

In 2018, a planned merger with Asda was blocked by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) over concerns that it would lead to higher prices for consumers.
