Central England Co-op opened its £2.2m store in Sutton, creating 15 jobs and including a phone charging area.
The Ely Road store, powered fully by renewable energy, also has a bicycle repair station, electric car charging points, and a free hot and cold-water refill station.
A collection point will support Ely Food Bank and store manager Rebecca Mott made the first donation of food and essentials.
“It is great to finally open”, she said.
“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank residents for their patience. It has been long-awaited, but hopefully everyone will enjoy the store as much as we do.”
