The company was founded by Jack Fulton in 1960 as a poultry business.[1] It diversified into frozen foods in 1974, using the company name Frozen Value Ltd.[2] In August 1997, it was then subject to a management buy-in, financed by 3i,[3] when Kevin Gunter took control of the business.[2]
In October 2005, it opened a 70,000 sq ft (6,500 m2) depot in Darton, South Yorkshire.[1] and in March 2013, the company was rebranded Fulton's Foods.[4]
The founder, Jack Fulton, died on 29 September 2015.[5]
In March 2018, Fulton's Foods announced they were trading online as "Star Bargains". The offering excludes chilled & frozen.[6]
In October 2020, Poundland announced they had purchased Fulton's Foods.[7]
In February 2022, the company announced the closure of all remaining stores.[8]
