Work to build a new multi-million pound Sainsbury’s store near Colwick will get underway next week.
The new Sainsbury’s supermarket will also have a petrol filling station and it’s expected customers can start to enjoy the new and modern shopping destination in the Autumn.
Works to commence from next week involve levelling out the site, installing store foundations and provision of drainage infrastructure. This work is expected to be completed by May. Following this phase of works, the steel frame will be erected and everyone will be able to really see the state-of-the-art store take shape.
Preparatory land clearing works have been underway over the past few months, including vegetation clearance and setting up site welfare facilities.
The new Sainsbury’s store will provide a fantastic range of Sainsbury’s own-brand and branded food ranges, alongside its popular clothing and general merchandise offer. The store will also include an Argos plus the new Sainsbury’s petrol filling station will conveniently be nearby.
Sainsbury’s Property Director, Patrick Dunne said: “Colwick has told us loud and clear that they want us to open our doors as soon as possible and we’re doing everything we can to do just that. We will continue to keep the community updated as we build this exciting new store, including how residents can apply to join the local colleague team.”
The new Sainsbury’s store will support economic growth and regenerate the local area. The Sainsbury’s colleagues will also play an active role in the local community and support Sainsbury’s nationwide community programmes and charity partners.
Last month Sainsbury’s also announced an additional £1 million community fund for stores to donate to charities and other good causes in their local areas. This follows Sainsbury’s ‘Help Brighten a Million Christmases’ campaign that raised £6 million in December for over 800 local charity partners, Comic Relief and FareShare.
