Our Story
Founded in Hull in 1979, Heron Foods has grown from a local family business into one of the UK’s top value food retailers.
Over the years, we’ve expanded our store network across England while staying true to the principles we were built on: offering quality food, great brands and low prices. From our distribution centre in Melton, East Yorkshire, we support hundreds of stores and serve millions of customers every year. While the business has grown significantly, our commitment to making everyday shopping affordable remains unchanged.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to provide quality products at great value prices, every day, in every store.
We work hard to offer customers affordable groceries, frozen food, chilled products and big-brand bargains at prices that help household budgets go further. Alongside everyday value, we’re constantly searching for exciting deals and new products that offer even greater savings. Whether it’s a weekly shop, a top up trip or discovering a great deal on a favourite brand, we want every visit to Heron Foods to offer outstanding value.
At The Heart of Local Communities
Our stores are located in towns, cities and neighbourhoods across England, from busy high streets to local community hubs.
We’re proud to create local jobs, support local charities and play an active role in the communities we serve. Many of our colleagues live in the areas where they work, helping us provide friendly service and maintain strong local connections. As a responsible retailer, we’re committed to operating sustainably, supporting our communities and making affordable food accessible to customers across the country
