History

Harry and Doris Tuffin started the business in 1955 with a garage and two petrol pumps. After a short while they added a small shop to the business.

In 1960, Harry and Doris's daughter Ruby and her husband Roy joined the company. They ran the shop whilst Harry concentrated on a Taxi business and School Bus Service.

In 1969, the company bought a two acre site on the edge of the village and in 1972 opened a 3,000 sq. foot supermarket and petrol station at Crosslikey, Churchstoke.


In 1974, a Sunday Market was started on the car park of the site.

In 1976, Harry Tuffin died aged 57, this was a major blow to the family and the company.

Roy and Ruby along with their Son Paul and Daughter Sallie now run the company.

In 1982, Harry Tuffin Ltd. joined NISA (National Independant Supermarkets Association). NISA are a buying group for independent supermarkets which enables us to buy goods at fantastic costs which we can pass on to our customers.

Knighton Branch

In 1981, Harry Tuffin Ltd. Expanded into the town of Knighton taking over an old cinema. Two years later we moved to our current location, taking over a petrol station and garage.

In 1987 due to the rapid expansion of the store and the shortage of car parking we built the first and only multi storey car park in Mid Wales.

During 2000/2001, the store had a major refurbishment, which included new fixtures, fittings, fridges and freezers.

The supermarket now has over 28,000 sq. feet of selling space and stocks a huge range of groceries, non food lines, gardening lines as well as a petrol station.
