TPZ Stores

Total Price Zone plc, trading as TPZ Stores, is a Neutralstonese supermarket and the largest chain of Supermarkets in Neutralston, with a 85.6% share of NST supermarket sales in January 2023. Since its inception in the 1920s, it has expanded massively with store locations across the entirety of Neutralston as well as in some countries in Eastern Europe and Parts of Germany. Since the 1960s, TPZ has diversified into areas such as the retailing of books, clothing, electronics, furniture, toys, petrol, and software. TPZ operates full-sized supermarkets under the main "TPZ" brand, smaller urban stores under the "Little TPZ" banner, and hypermarkets as "TPZ Extra". 
In 2002, TPZ acquired Tesco Neutralston through a merger, as Tesco Stores in Neutralston were seeing little customers throughout the entirety of the 90s. These stores were rebranded under the "TPZ Extra" and "Little TPZ" brands. 
History
Stanley Tunthorpe, the son of Migrants from Poland, founded TPZ in 1925 as Tunthorpe's General Store in Lavender Park where he sold numerous Goods which mainly included foodstock. The current brand came about in 1936, when Stanley Tunthorpe wanted to drive customers to his store by lowering his prices and came up with the idea of renaming his shop to "Total Price Zone", which reflected the cheaper prices, this name would stick as Stanley would use this brand name when he opened his second store location in St Quagmire in 1938. After experimenting with a larger store-front for his second location, Stanley decided to open his first Supermarket location in Pine Village in 1956 after he acquired retail space in the newly built Raymond II Point. Stanley would lead the company until his death in 1968. 
After Stanley's Passing, his son Lewis Tunthorpe would inherit the company and continue its operation. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, TPZ would grow organically, through numerous acquisitions until it owned more than 500 shops across the Country. The Company purchased 50 LavenderFood Shops (1972), 200 LifeWay Shops (1977) and 95 Harrison Shops (1981). Lewis Tunthorpe's business motto was "Buy cheap, profit later", to which he added an internal motto of "Get off your arse and buy shit" which he used to drive his sales force. 
In 1982 the company would abbreviating the Total Price Zone brand to simply "TPZ" on 4 store locations as part of a rebrand trial, this trial would end up being successful with the rebranded stores attracting even more customer traffic. As a result all store locations were rebranded to TPZ throughout the mid 80s, the company would also begin trading as TPZ Stores, however the full name would still be used officially. In 1991, Lewis Tunthorpe would retire from his position as CEO and Raymond Navi, who was Deputy Ceo at the time would take charge.

The vast majority of these shops were previously run by Tesco Neutralston. The largest shop in Neutralston by floor space is TPZ Extra in Neutralston City, with 17,230 square metres (185,500 sq ft) of floor space.
Supermarkets
TPZ Superstores are standard large supermarkets, stocking groceries and a much smaller range of non-food goods than Extra hypermarkets. The shops have always been branded as 'TPZ'. 
Convivence Stores 
Little TPZ shops are neighbourhood convenience shops averaging 200 square metres (2,200 sq ft) to 600 square metres (6,458 sq ft), stocking mainly food with an emphasis on higher-margin products such as sweets, crisps, chocolate, biscuits, fizzy drinks, and processed food (due to small shop size, and the necessity to maximise revenue per square foot) alongside everyday essentials. They are located in busy city-centre districts, small shopping precincts in residential areas, small towns, and villages.
