The security tactic has been employed in hundreds of the chain's stores across the UK.

The name of the market chain is "Iceland".
The name of the country is "United Kingdom".

I’ve actually shopped in an Iceland during a trip to the UK. It is an odd sort of place, with most of the merchandise consisting of frozen food, with the non-frozen items largely consisting of oversized containers of product (reminding me of what you buy in a Costco); the store itself is as large as two 7-11 stores combined, which is to say, not large.

If you are familiar with the DC area, there is a merchant called “Murry’s” that sells portion-controlled frozen meats in lower middle class areas (many of their stores are in southeast DC and in Prince George’s County, MD). Iceland is vaguely reminiscent of Murry’s.
