The Sainsbury's I used to shop in when I lived in Greenwich had a similar "hill" although it didn't cover the whole supermarket. I think it was used for insulation for the warehousing. The grass always looked healthy I must say. There were also a couple of pools out back that weren't landscaped so I could only assume they had a purpose (car drivers wouldn't have seen them, only people like me who hauled shopping home on shanks pony).

It also had a couple of its own wind turbines - I think it was as close to a zero carbon footprint as was possible back then.

I liked.

Well, okay. I liked a lot because it was my nearest supermarket, they advertised the times and dates of food sampling in advance and it was enormous. No moans about the level of stock in that store! We won't talk about the time I had the screaming ab-dabs in there because it wasn't the store's fault.
