Liverpool was once home to a supermarket that prided itself on offering customers "good food made easy".
Somerfield arrived on the scene in 1991 with the first store opening in Nottingham. It wasn’t long before the supermarket chain popped up all over the UK, including right here in Liverpool and Wirral.
The company was first known as Gateway Foodmarkets in the 1960s, later being known simply as Gateway. After a number of acquisitions and restructuring in the company, the Somerfield name and brand was born in 1990.
