LONDON - A possible merger of the supermarket group J Sainsbury and Boots the Chemist has been hinted at by Sainsbury chief executive, Sir Peter Davis.

In an interview in the Sunday Times, Sir Peter, a former member of the Boots board, indicated that if the recently signed deal between the two companies is successful, then there was the possibility of a bigger deal.


Last month, the two retailers signed a deal that will see Boots health and beauty products on sale within certain Sainsbury stores.



He said that they will know within a year if the arrangement with Boots is working.
