Iceland Foods plc
 PROFILE
Iceland Foods hopes the UK's desire for frozen food never melts. A leading frozen food retailer in that country, Iceland operates over 750 stores that sell frozen foods, fresh and chilled foods, and some grocery products. Most of its merchandise carries the Iceland brand name. About 400 of its stores also sell the appliances that keep its goods cold or heat them up -- refrigerators, freezers, and microwaves. Its Woodward Foodservice subsidiary distributes frozen foods to pubs, hotels, and restaurants. Iceland also runs a home delivery service in the UK and offers home shopping by phone, fax, and the Internet. The company bought Booker Cash & Carry Limited (formerly Booker plc) in August 2000.
