Meesons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Meesons was once a well-known national chain of confectioners and tobacconists in the United Kingdom.

Its shops had a place in most larger towns until the 1950s but the chain subsequently lost its prominent position due to changing tastes and fashions. Meesons were possibly best known for an early buy one get one free offer under which it was possible to buy a quarter of sweets (quarter of a pound - 4 ounces - 113 grammes) and get a quarter free.

By the 1970s Meesons had disappeared altogether, perhaps a victim of the supermarkets and the changing face of the British High Street.
