Apparently TS was started by the guy who owned SF. When SF was sold to
Kingfisher it was part of the contract that he couldn't start a similar
business for 5 years. 5 years after he started TS.

He did it again, TS is now owned by Travis Perkins.

Your other favourite Wickes is also in that stable.
