    Thomas Sage opened a small grocery shop in 1954 and was passionate about offering quality food at affordable prices. He built good relationships with farmers by establishing a network and paying attention to customer service. Sage decided to open his own supermarkets after learning from other businesses abroad. He funded the new supermarkets by seeking money from his family, friends, and local bank. Sage was supported by his wife and friend David, and later involved his children in the business by inviting them to join and giving them shares. Over time, the company began losing drive due to slow adaptation to new market conditions, and the board of directors required urgent reflection on their role and on issues like financing growth and distributing Thomas's shares.
