Background
History
The chain was established by businessman Mike Robertson who bought the Liskeard site in the early 1960s after moving to Cornwall following his wife's death.
Architecture
The company's buildings at Liskeard and Newton Abbot were designed by Charles Hunt of St Neot, Liskeard, whom they appointed in 1978. The buildings have a castle-inspired profile, with white towers and black-framed windows. Trago also experimented with smaller stores, such as a 'Trago Mini Mart' .
