After the sale of Savemore, Clifford started again. In 1968 the former Bladons furniture store on Prospect Street, at the corner of Pryme Street, opened as Clifford Dunns — the beginning of Clifford Dunn Supermarkets, which grew into a big business in its own right.

Hull remembers it for its queues, its 10p tins of tomatoes and its famously cheap shirts. The full story of Clifford Dunn Supermarkets — its stores, its people and its dates — is being gathered now.
