Alistair Bush, area manager, said: “This will be one of our largest stores and we are trying out a few new ideas to see what works. It will be the first time we have tried the food to go coupled with the eating in concept and so we are interested to see how that goes.

The “We’ve worked closely with the team at Nisa to get the store design right and have tried to personalise it. We’re now looking forward to finishing the project and opening our doors to shoppers.”
