In 2009 it exited the appliance business, which sold mainly freezers, to focus on of its core frozen foods retail operation. The chain plans to open about 70 new stores in 2009, including locations in about 50 stores in former Woolworths outlets.

Iceland Foods was founded in 1970 by CEO Malcolm Walker.
