EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the bustling opening day of Presto supermarket in the Britannia Centre, Hinckley, on May 12th, 1978. The image captures a momentous occasion as Mrs. May Sanders proudly becomes the first customer to step foot into this new retail haven. As she enters through the doors with anticipation and excitement written across her face, the store manager stands by her side, presenting her with a vibrant bouquet of flowers. This snapshot encapsulates not only a significant milestone for Presto but also reflects the changing landscape of shopping experiences in 20th-century Britain. The photograph exudes an air of nostalgia as it transports us back to an era when supermarkets were transforming everyday life by offering convenience and variety under one roof. The scene is filled with energy and promise as shoppers eagerly await their turn to explore aisles brimming with food and drink options. It serves as a reminder of how these establishments became more than just places to purchase groceries; they became social hubs where communities gathered and connected. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints, we find ourselves immersed in history—captivated by the enthusiasm radiating from Mrs. Sanders' expression and inspired by the enduring legacy that supermarkets have left on our society's fabric.
