Following Sainsbury’s original shop styling, from when they started business in England, the Counter features different sections, with dairy, bakery, butchery and other departments… Long, winding wooden shelves upon the walls, just like the early J Sainsbury’s, are stacked to the ceiling, with tinned goods, provisions, chocolates, soap, cereals, starch and many other items!
