An inescapable name on the nation's high streets, it's incredible to look back at the humble origins of the Liverpool store considering its phenomenal success.
In 1976 a 21-year old entrepreneur by the name of Tom Morris opened his first store in Old Swan. Now 68-years old, Morris and his family - according to the Sunday Times Rich List in May 2021 - are said to be worth £4.36bn.
The son of a Scotty Road shop keeper, Morris' first store had takings of less than £100 per week. Back then, of course, the shop was known as Home And Bargain, a name that has still stuck with people in the city.
