PROFILE |
 |
Booker Cash & Carry is a food wholesaler with literary flair. Sponsor of literature's famed Booker Prize, the company operates more than 180 cash-and-carry warehouses in the UK. The outlets sells brand-name and private-label (Happy Shopper, Chef's Larder) goods such as alcohol, candy, produce, and tobacco to convenience stores, grocers, pubs, and restaurants. Lackluster sales and debt forced the firm to sell its agribusiness (poultry farms and fish processing), food service, sugar processing, and foreign food wholesaling ventures. It also sold its stake in Agatha Christie Ltd.'s works (but will continue to award the literary prize). Frozen food retailer Iceland Foods (formerly Iceland Group) bought Booker in 2000.
