There are plenty of famous names we recognise, particularly when it comes to supermarket names.

But one cheeky shop owner says it's "just a coincidence" that he named his own store Singh'sbury.

Mandeep Singh Chatha opened his new local convenience store and the name, and its accompanying orange sign bare an uncanny resemblance to, of course, Sainsbury's.

The shop, in Wolverhampton, was opened by the 34-year-old and his wife Hardeep last month and passersby have been loving the 'coincidence' so much that they have been stopping to take seflies outside.

"My name is Singh and it is on Bushbury Road. That's where the name has come from," Mr Charha said. "Its just a coincidence.

"It has proved very popular so far, people keep stopping in their cars to take pictures with the sign and I've had many nice comments.

"I have heard nothing from a supermarket which has a similar name, so I see no problem with it. Why would they contact me? It is different."

The former sandwich delivery driver continued: "It's a different logo, a different colour, a different company. It's completely different. So why would they ask to change? I don't want any controversy from them.

"I don't know what I would do if they ask me to change the name. All I can say is that we are not the same."

Mr Chatha’s name choice follows a similar case in 2017, where businessman Jel Singh Nagra also renamed his North Tyneside shop Singhsbury's.

After Sainsbury's threatened legal action, he decided to rename the store Morrisinghs - and Morrisons backed the idea.

A Morrisons spokesman said at the time: "Mr Nagra and his customers obviously have good taste so we wish him well."

Sainsbury’s, who have a supermarket of their own just 1.6 miles away, has been contacted for comment over Mr Chatha’s new venture.
