Sainsbury’s could announce a deal to buy the group, which owns Martins and Forbuoys stores, within a fortnight, reported the Sunday Times.
TM Group’s owners, Montagu Private Equity and Electra Partners, put the group up for sale in November 2002, the newspaper said.
The news comes less than a week after Sainsbury’s announced it had acquired Bells Stores, a chain of 54 convenience stores in northeast England.
