The history of Iceland
Malcolm Walker and Peter Hinchcliffe opened the first Iceland Foods shop in Oswestry, Shropshire in 1970. With an emphasis on frozen foods, the store was a success with consumers and had expanded to 15 shops (in North Wales and the North West) by 1975. Two years later the business started selling own-labelled packaged food, which only boosted the company’s positive reputation and number of supermarket stores.
But Iceland Foods would only go public in 1984 – two years after becoming the UK’s first supermarket to eliminate artificial colourings, flavourings and non-essential preservatives from its own branded products.
As more Iceland stores popped up in and outside the UK, the brand continued offering more and more customer perks – including its unique free home-delivery services in 1997, an online shopping hub dedicated to boosting the brand’s online services, and more.
Throughout the years, Iceland Foods’ commitment to a healthier environment has also become apparent. After all, Iceland became the first plastic bag-free supermarket in the UK in 2019.
Iceland Foods celebrated its 50th anniversary as Britain’s leading food retailer on 18 November 2020.
