This morning Sainsbury's welcomed customers to the only supermarket brand at London City Island, E14.
The new convenience store is right in the heart of a new residential development by Ballymore and is home to an excellent range of fresh food and convenience products. The Sainsbury’s Local also provides customers with a convenient place to pick up a coffee thanks to the in-store, Costa coffee machine.
The store has created 21 new jobs and will trade from 7am-11pm seven days a week.
The opening was marked by the store team, who were also joined by neighbours from the English National Ballet to celebrate the first day in business. Dancers attended a ribbon cutting ceremony with the Sainsbury’s colleagues at 9.30am.
London City Island is unique new riverside development and 12 acre neighbourhood - creating a ‘mini-Manhattan’ - in Leamouth, London. The developer, EcoWorld Ballymore, is formed of EcoWorld, one of Malaysia’s leading property developers and Ballymore, who have over 20 years’ experience in the London property market.
