Our Story
Established in 1948 by sole trader Geoffrey Louis Arbourne following his purchase of the Manchester building, New Road, Skewen.
Looking to rename the Manchester Building, Geoffrey decided to use his own name for the store, but being an English man in Wales was quick to realise the patriotism of the Welsh, and obvious English spelling of his name Geoffrey. In an effort to integrate himself with his new Welsh community Geoffrey decided to spell his name the Welsh way on the shop sign, hence the name “Jefferies Stores”. This proved to be a success with the community but all but cost Geoffrey his surname of Arbourne spending the rest of his life referred to as “Mr Jefferies”.
