Mary Ann Sainsbury (née Staples) was the wife of John James Sainsbury, the founder of the Sainsbury's supermarket chain. ==Early and private life== Mary Ann Staples was born on 30 June 1849 at 4 Little Charles Street, Somers Town, London. Her father, Benjamin Staples, was originally a woodcarver, but in 1863 he opened a small dairy shop at 87 Chalton Street, Somers Town. Mary Ann and her two younger brothers probably helped out in this shop. At the time of her marriage to John James Sainsbury, on 20 April 1869, Mary Ann Staples was working in the dairy shop of a family friend, Tom Haile, at 32 Strutton Ground, Victoria. In 1873 the family moved to live above their second shop at 159 Queen’s Crescent, Kentish Town. The area in which this branch was located was newly developed and much less overcrowded than Drury Lane. Mary Ann continued to work in the shop, but her role diminished as the size of her family grew. By the 1880s the firm’s success had made the Sainsbury family extremely prosperous. When the family moved again, in 1886, it was to a smart villa in the fashionable suburb of Highgate. Mary Ann was now devoting herself entirely to family life and none of her five daughters needed to enter the business. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mary Ann Sainsbury」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
