Its rapidly growing online grocery business saw annualised sales hit £1bn in September.
Customer satisfaction scores are also at an all-time-high, a fact endorsed by The Grocer, as it recently awarded Sainsbury’s its Grocer Gold Award for Online Retailer of the Year in both 2013 and 2012.
To celebrate reaching £1bn in sales and to thank them for their hard work, all Sainsbury’s colleagues will receive a temporary increase in their colleague discount to 20%.
Jon Rudoe, Sainsbury’s director of online, digital & cross-channel, said: “We’ve gone from strength to strength in recent years, and hitting £1bn in sales is a great testament to the dedication to our colleagues, who always go the extra mile to deliver outstanding service for our customers.
“We’re confident there is still a huge amount of potential for growth, as our online grocery operation continues to complement our core supermarket business. Customers love the choice of shopping different channels at Sainsbury’s, and they reward us with their loyalty in store and online.”
