A budget supermarket chain that started off on a British high street finally closed its doors after retail giants like Tesco and Asda introduced their own budget range of goods.
Kwik Save, with its instantly recognisable red and white branding, was a common sight on the nation's high streets for nearly 50-years. After the foundations of the brand were started by Welsh entrepreneur Albert Gubay in 1959, the first recognisable Kwik Save store opened in North Wales in 1965.
Famous for its 'No Frills' line of own brand food staples, the idea would be later copied by supermarket giants like Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's. The business also adopted the successful European retail model similar to Aldi and Lidl, buying in a limited range of goods on favourable payment terms.
