Sainsbury’s opens new local store in Nottingham and creates 30 jobs | Industry News | TalkingRetail.com

Sainsbury’s has opened its newest store in Nottingham, creating 30 jobs and making a“real difference” to a local charity.

The Wheelergate Local store was officially opened by a representative from the Nottinghamshire branch of The Huntington’s Disease Association, which has been selected as the store’s local charity partner of the year. To mark the occasion, the store will donate£500 to pay for two of the charity’s annual trips.

Kirstine McDaniel, chairperson for Nottinghamshire branch of the charity, said:“Huntington’s Disease can be quite an isolating illness, so social events are an important part of what we do. The donation from Sainsbury’s will help us take HDA-sufferers and their carers on two trips this year, which will mean a great deal to those families. We’re always looking for support, and we’re thrilled to have been chosen as Sainsbury’s local charity partner this year.”

The new 2,250 sq ft store includes a bakery, fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as a wide range of fresh sandwiches alongside high quality ready meals. Five self-scan tills have also been installed to meet customers’ needs for a speedy shop. On hand to help will be 40 colleagues, including 31 new recruits taken on from the local area.
