- He looked inwards. The first year King took over running the supermarket, Sainsbury's had just invested huge sums in an IT system that didn't work. "The shops didn't have the stuff on the shelf that people needed," says Graham Soult, a retail analyst.
- Build, build, build. In 2004, as King took over as chief executive, Sainsbury's had 583 stores. He'll leave it with double that number.
