Singhbury`s Vs Sainsbury`s |
Indian-origin shop-owners are locked in a naming row with one of Britain`s biggest retail chains, Sainsbury`s, after they decided to name their local store in south-east England Singhbury`s. Co-owners Inderjit Singh Nagpal and Manmeed Singh Bhatia had put up the ``Singhbury`s Local`` sign on their store in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, 2016 February. The lettering and colour were very similar to Sainsbury`s Local signs across the UK. The first part of the name is Singh, for our names, and the second is bury for Aylesbury. Orange is the colour of their Sikh religion. After pictures of the store began circulating on social media, they were contacted by Sainsbury`s to take down the sign. The co-owners say while they are willing to change the colour of any new sign, they have full justification to hold on to the name. A decision between their legal representative and Sainsbury`s is expected in later part of January 2017.
