A lost supermarket chain known for its discount prices is still remembered fondly in Greater Manchester and beyond.
The Manchester Evening News recently took a look back at the former Presto supermarket, which was a big brand name from the early 1960s to late 1980s. A division of a larger company called Allied Suppliers Ltd, the stores were often located in shopping centres and there were a number of Prestos in and around Greater Manchester that shoppers will remember.
Presto sold all the fruit, vegetables, meat and bakery items you'd expect, and the popular treats of the time, such as Cadbury's Brazil Nut bars and Sunshine table jellies. It also had its own memorable TV advert catchphrase - 'you'll be impressed at Presto.'
