Sainsbury’s launches new Elephant and Castle store
Sainsbury’s has opened a new ‘Local’ store at London’s Elephant and Castle.
The 2,500 square foot shop at Newington Butts is situated on the ground floor of local Southwark landmark ‘One The Elephant’.
Open seven days a week from 7am to 11pm, it will stock Sainsbury’s latest range of fresh food, fruit and vegetables and seasonal products, as well as branded and own brand grocery products.
The store will also feature a bakery and offer hot drinks from an in-store Costa Coffee machine. There are also plans to have an Argos Click and Collect point in-store.
Ileri Ogunbanwo from local charity Vauxhall Foodbank, which is partnered with the store, joined Southwark Ward Councillor Charlie Smith and Sainsbury’s staff at an opening ceremony to cut the ribbon.
Patrick Dunne, Sainsbury’s property director, said: “We are very pleased to unveil our latest investment in Elephant and Castle, which is creating jobs as well as a convenient new place for local residents and workers to shop. The store looks fantastic and I feel sure it will live up to our customers’ high expectations of Sainsbury’s.”
