From holiday job to billion dollar enterprise!When Bill Pratt took over Pratt's Store in the outer Melbourne suburb of Frankston in 1946, his initial plan was to sell the small grocery business for a profit within a few months.

He took the helm of Australian Safeway in 1967 and by 1985, 130 Safeway stores were operating throughout Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.Bill Pratt has always acted according to his philosophy that nothing comes easy, but there is always a way, and as a result, this book is a spirited and inspirational guide to successful retailing.
