Located in The Gables Shopping Centre, the transformed store will be open from 7am to 10pm, seven days a week and has an increased range and choice of fresh, healthy produce, ready meals and pizzas, award-winning wines, free-from and vegan products, Fairtrade, food-to-go, baked goods and everyday essentials. For the first time, it will also have a Costa Coffee Express machine.
