FreshXpress is a discount supermarket chain in the United Kingdom. It was formed in 2007 by Irish retail entrepreneur Brendan Murtagh.
Stores
FreshXpress Retail Limited first had 56 stores[1], all of which were formerly Kwik Save stores before the chain went bankrupt. On 6 July, 2007, 56 stores stayed open, forming FreshXpress in an £18m deal, saving around 600 jobs.[2] The FreshXpress stores officially opened on 21 July, 2007[3]. Prodo assisted with the creation of the new brand[4].
In mid-September 2007 this portfolio of stores was reduced from 56 to just 23. [5]
The company is still ran by the same cowboys that ran Kwik Save into the ground.
