Queen-up on aisle one!
Queen Elizabethtook a trip to the grocery store – and back in time to 1869 – on Wednesday to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Sainsbury’s supermarkets. The 93-year-old monarch headed to Covent Garden in London, where she visited a pop-up experience based on the chain’s very first store on London’s Drury Lane, which sold just three items: butter, milk and eggs.
The monarch also met Sainsbury’s employees from around the country, including some with over 50 years service and others who have positively impacted their community through volunteering or fundraising.
