The products are sold to independent convenience stores and off-licences around Britain. There are also a number of corner shops owned by Booker plc which are under the Happy Shopper brand.The company produces a variety of goods, such as carbonated drinks, groceries, snacks, and ready meals on occasion, as well as selling more mainstream products in their stores.

The Happy Man

The Happy Man (or "Jim") is the official name of Happy Shopper's logo – a smiling face with blonde hair. It has been used as a logo by the company for over 20 years. However, in recent years the "happy man" has been discarded from the happy shopper products and packaging.
