A vast new housing estate where residents have been waiting for a convenience store for years is set for a Morrisons Local ...

Now, despite traffic concerns, the site is getting a Morrisons Local. But those living in the hundreds of homes already built on the sprawling Thanington scheme are set to see the franchise’s arrival ...

It comes after Morrisons completed the acquisition of 36 convenience stores from SandpiperCI. The acquired stores currently operate under the Iceland, Chequers Express and Le Cocq brands.

The highly-anticipated opening of a Home Bargains store will take place this weekend after a multi-million-pound refurbishment.
