 PROFILE
Retailer J Sainsbury is trying to get its grocery trolley back on track. The UK's second-largest food retailer (after Tesco) operates the struggling Sainsbury's Supermarkets chain, with about 440 stores in the UK (which account for about 75% of sales). Other retail operations include convenience stores (Sainsbury's Local) and hypermarkets (Savacentre). In the US it runs about 170 Shaw's Supermarkets and Star Markets in New England. It also owns Sainsbury's Bank with the Bank of Scotland and has a stake in an Egyptian grocery chain. Sainsbury has departed the DIY business, having sold its 280-store Homebase home and garden supply chain in the UK. The Sainsbury family controls about 35% of the company.
