Booths is a chain of supermarkets in northern England. Most of its branches are located in Lancashire but there are also branches in Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Yorkshire.
E.H. Booth & Co. Ltd was founded in June 1847 by Edwin Henry Booth, and has remained owned by the Booth family ever since. From humble beginings as a tea shop in Blackpool, Booths grew into the first chain of supermarkets in the area, and even though it has now been eclipsed by giants such as Tesco and Sainsburys, it still boasts over 26 stores across the region.
In June 2005 the current Chairman, Edwin J Booth, was awarded the BITC (Buisness in the Community) HRH The Prince of Wales Ambassador Award for North West England. This is given to individuals whose leadership and commitment to responsible business practice and the actions they have taken personally have created a positive impact both inside their company and on the wider society.
