On the 24th March, 1981, Key Markets opened a new store in Wickford.
A large number of people were waiting for the opening at 9am. Were you one of them?
Were you one of the fruit tasters?
A jazz band played to welcome people to the new experience.

I worked at Key Markets when I left school, in 1980, while I waited to join the RAF. And, my joining day was 24th March 1981! I remember returning to Wickford after having ‘attested’ in Ilford and seeing my old workmates in the new store. I felt a big wave of relief that I was moving on from Wickford and a life in retail. It just wasn’t for me.
My dad worked for Key Markets and Savon stores for many years as a manager, until they finally ground him down at the Upton Park branch.
I used to work for Key Markets.
Not in a store but at their administration and computer department offices in Trinity Street, London S.E. 1.
I was with them from 1966 to 1977
