About Budgens Supermarkets
Founded in 1872 John Budgen (who opened the first shop in Maidenhead, Berkshire), Budgens has a long history of serving local communities across England. Today, the brand is part of the Booker Group (a subsidiary of Tesco PLC), operating through a network of independently owned franchise stores on high streets, in suburban towns, and on petrol station forecourts.
Unlike massive out-of-town hypermarkets, Budgens stores are designed to provide a neighborly, community-focused shopping experience tailored to local top-up needs.
