Jim
When Jim Anderson joined the UN more than thirty years ago, he never thought that he
would one day be running a British shop in St. Genis, France, just across the border from Geneva. Impressed by the lengths to which his compatriots would go to bring back their favorite foods from England, the inspiration came to him to open a small market specializing in British food products. He will never forget opening day on April 2, 1996. He couldn't believe it. The parking was jammed with cars, and people were queuing around the store and all the way out onto the pavement. Since then the shop has expanded and Jim attributes the success to listening to what people want and need. He must be doing something right, because this friendly little English shop is a well established institution among Geneva's expatriate community and locals alike.

Jim’s wife Margaret, even though
retired, is to be seen more often in the
shop, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Ask Margaret for any special orders or
items that you really want to see on the
shelves at Jim's
