Mar 21, 2022 · A video of several iconic images taken of the Sainsbury's at Cameron Toll Shopping Centre have surfaced, which show the store in all its glory when it was known as the SavaCentre.
BHS products were gradually phased out from Savacentre’s shelves in the early 1990s, to be replaced in part by Sainsbury’s own offerings. Particularly successful were the Sainsbury’s ‘ Lifestyle ’ label— ‘ a comprehensive range of clothes for all the family’—and its successor ‘ I.N.I.T.I.A.L.S. ’.

SavaCentre was a chain of 13 hypermarkets and later a further seven discount supermarkets owned and operated jointly by Sainsbury's and BHS, beginning in 1977. Sainsbury's later took full control of the stores alone in 1989, rebranding them as Sainsbury's SavaCentre, until 2005 when the stores were integrated into the Sainsbury's supermarket brand.
