The company gradually expanded throughout the 1990s, before acquiring the one hundred strong Supersave chain of drugstores from GHEA. The company grew to 176 stores before being sold to A.S. Watson, the retail and manufacturing arm of CK Hutchison Holdings, the conglomerate based in Hong Kong in July 2000.[3]
Subsequently, A.S. Watson acquired Kruidvat BV, the owner of the chain Superdrug in August 2002.[4] Following this, many Savers stores were converted to the format of Superdrug.[5][6] Some of those Superdrug stores were later re converted back into Savers stores, including a branch at Holywell, Flintshire.
The company is based in Dunstable near Luton; the home office building doubles as one of A.S. Watson large distribution centres in the United Kingdom, serving Savers, Superdrug, and The Perfume Shop. Customer service operations are based at Superdrug's head office in Croydon, London, and the company's registered office is Hutchinson House, Battersea, London.
As of April2024, Savers has more than five hundred stores across the U.K.[7]
