By GlobalDataSainsbury’s has also relaunched its Bramhall Local store in Greater Manchester, which has expanded by more than 1,000ft² to 4,115ft².
The store has 17 colleagues and offers customers access to more products than before.
All three stores will sell products from Argos, Habitat and Tu Clothing via an in-store Click and Collect service.
Sainsbury’s property director Patrick Dunne said: “It’s always a pleasure to welcome new stores to our estate, whether by bringing Sainsbury’s to a high street or neighbourhood for the first time, creating new jobs, or by investing in expanding, improving and sometimes even relocating our existing stores.
“We are continuing to deliver on our ambitious plans for growth and we are excited to be opening at least 25 new stores over the next twelve months, at carefully selected locations throughout the UK where we know they have the greatest impact for our customers.”
Earlier this month, Sainsbury’s opened a store on Desborough Harborough Road in Northamptonshire, UK, as part of its expansion efforts.
The store is the ninth Neighbourhood Hub outlet opened by the retailer to date.
