Over 15 million British people live overseas. They are amongst the wealthiest consumers in the world and together with the domestic population offer a tremendous market opportunity. The Thomas Green's franshise can be extended to meet the needs of the three very different customer segments: professional expats, "leisure" expats and the local non-British community and adapted to address the local conditions.

Whatever your choice, the pieces of the jigsaw are built around the cornerstone of selling Britain abroad. You can build your own product mix from:

Over 15,000 ambient, chilled and frozen leading food product brands typically sold in all major UK supermarkets
Many non food brands including toys, magazines, stationery and seasonal products

The size of your store will vary, but the basic concept is modelled between 150 and 300 sq metres and will be driven by location, capital available and brands chosen.

Additional concepts include the Thomas Green's "shop within a shop", in conjunction with our category management service. In this way, local supermarkets can incorporate a ready to go UK section, with little additional management effort.

Formats vary widely, and can be brought together in any combination:
