New 17,500 sq ft supermarket opened at 9am on 27th November in Olney, Milton Keynes
Sainsbury’s new 17,500 sq ft store in Olney, Milton Keynes, opened its doors to customers at 9am on Wednesday 27th November. Great quality food, competitively priced, will be firmly at the heart of the store, offering a wide range of Sainsbury’s distinctive and innovative branded and own-brand food as well as an in-store bakery.
Sainsbury’s Olney will have an Argos store inside, bringing great choice, value and convenience to customers who can benefit from the thousands of technology, home and toy products available for immediate pick up and also collect orders they have made online. Customers will also be able to order and collect Sainsbury’s fashionable and great value Tu clothing range for the whole family. The store will have a Pay@Browse area with tablets that enable customers to purchase what they want quickly and conveniently as well as browse for products, with Argos colleagues on hand to help.
The new supermarket will be Sainsbury’s first store with a full RIHC (Refrigeration Integrated Heating and Cooling) system which uses the store’s refrigeration system to provide all of its refrigeration, heating and cooling requirements. It also utilises waste heat from refrigeration, making it particularly energy efficient.
To help celebrate the opening, the store ran a competition for local school children to specially design a jute bag that will be available for customers to buy in store on opening day.
Gemma Murrell, Sainsbury’s Olney Store Manager, said, “We are delighted to be opening our brand new store in Olney. Our team of colleagues – many of whom are new to Sainsbury’s – have worked extremely hard to get the store ready and are very excited to welcome and serve customers. We are looking forward to becoming a part of the Olney community and look forward to building our local relationships in the future.”
Sainsbury’s Olney is situated on Lavendon Road. The store will have 96 parking spaces and is easily accessible via the A509.
On opening day, Wednesday 27th November, the Olney store opened at 9am. Thereafter, the store will trade from 7am to 9pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sundays.
