Founded by a man driven by a commitment to fair trade and worker rights, the store’s origins are deeply rooted in Victorian-era values – providence, self-reliance, foresight, and self-discipline.

The store’s initial mission was to challenge trade restrictions and advocate for improved wages, reflecting the broader social concerns of the time, including criticisms of government inaction highlighted by events like the “Bulgarian Horrors” pamphlet of 1876.

Early operations were significantly influenced by William Gladstone, aligning with the store’s focus on ethical trade and social justice.

The store was initially linked to the Charity Organization Society, documented in its first annual report of 1870.

This connection underscores the store’s longstanding commitment to community support and charitable initiatives.
