EasyJet was founded by Sir Stelios Haji-Iannou, and the concept of 'no frills' caught on. I prefer EasyJet to some of the other budget airlines, although my next few flights are not with EasyJet as it happens.
Now the concept has been expanded to food.
EasyFoodStore is open in North London and has been for a month now, during which time it's had a lot of publicity, and has also changed the way that it operates and prices its food in various ways.
Year 7 students considered a few key questions relating to the store, which you will be provided with in lessons.
Joanna Blythman's article will challenge you a little when reading it, but persist because it provides a good critique of some of the issues surrounding the concept of selling food so cheap.
It ends with a good George Orwell quote:
“We may find in the long run that tinned food is a deadlier weapon than the machine gun.”
