The People Behind the Brand

99p Stores was launched by the people who owned the highly successful Whistlestop Convenience Store chain (acquired by Select Service Partner), which operates stores on mainline railway stations and at major airports. Prior to this, they owned Europa Foods (acquired by Tesco), which was one of the largest high street convenience store businesses in London. As a result, they have over 25 years experience of operating successful retail companies.
