Supermarket Iceland is opening its first branch in the Falkland Islands, according to boss Lord Richard Walker.
He said the store would be opening in December, adding on LinkedIn it would be the the first UK high street brand to open there.
Lord Walker said the Welsh business, based in Deeside, in Flintshire, was growing internationally and he wanted to expand it further.
"And we've had our eye on the Falkland Islands for quite a long time. We think it's a very underserved market, with a lack of competition, and, of course, being that our product is predominantly frozen, it transports and exports very well."
