Sainsbury's, one of the UK's largest supermarket chains, is reportedly planning to open two new mini supermarkets in Bristol city centre. The stores are classified as 'local' branches, similar to the Tesco Metro-style stores. In addition to an existing Sainsbury's Local branch in Horfield in the area, two new stores will be opened next week in Broadmead and Broad Quay, creating a total of 61 new food jobs.
The two new stores will both have the following:
• A selection of everyday food items, fresh food and bakery products, and a small section of non-food items.
• 5,000 square foot of combined sales space
• Three cash machines and three self-scan checkouts
• A 'Bag for Life' scheme in operation to help customers recycle
These new Sainsbury's stores are expected to not only provide those living in the Bristol city centre area with a more convenient source for everyday items, but it will also boost the area's job market. Sainsbury's is a brilliant graduate employer, offering a wide range of food jobs in many areas of food retail. It may be a good time to get on board.
