Budgens (thought for food )

Located in Sawbridgeworth, Budgens Supermarket belongs to Paul and Michelle Gravelle. The couple invested in the store as independent retailers through a limited company.

Sawbridgeworth Budgens is one of an increasing number of Budgens shops that were once corporate but are now are franchised. Using Budgen's product range and sophisticated supply chain facilities, in return the independent retailers promise to enhance the Budgens brand by adhering to their quality standards.

This independence and freedom affords Budgens franchise model to allow the shops to tailor their services to the area that they serve as well as bring on board their own ideas and suppliers but, at the same time, benefit from the support, products and supply infrastructure of Budgens. There is also a great emphasis on offering locally produced, premium quality foods from established local suppliers.
