Later their three younger brothers joined them in the business. Having been established in Wolverhampton it had since moved on through the West Midlands conurbation into Birmingham. In early 2004 the eldest founding member and chairman Trilok (T.S) Wouhra passed away. In November 2019 the company was sold to Exponent Private Equity. It is now part of Vibrant Foods. Shortly after the sale the youngest of brothers Don Wouhra passed away of a sudden illness. In 2020 Jasbir Wouhra and his immediate family bought the former cash and carry sites and now trade under their newly established company Lioncroft Wholesale.
