Coronation Street has unveiled its new Sainsbury's and Argos store on the famous cobbles in Weatherfield - and it's been a long time coming for the residents
Coronation Street has revealed a new addition to Weatherfield, but it's not a character. Fans of the ITV soap are accustomed to the frequent arrivals and departures of residents on the famous street.
The retail chain first made its appearance on the cobbles in 2018 alongside Costa Coffee. Besides having shop fronts on the Salford-based set, the two companies were also allowed to display their logos on other assets such as posters, bags, and cups. The store has been hidden on-screen behind hoardings since July. After its 'opening', it will become operational on-screen and visible to viewers from Monday night's episode , reports the Manchester Evening News.
Laura Boothby, Head of Campaigns at Argos, expressed her enthusiasm: "We're looking forward to watching the Coronation Street cast walk the legendary cobbles into our newest Sainsbury's Local store. We know our customers have been eagerly waiting to spot the new store and we're thrilled that everyone's favourite characters, from Ken Barlow to Chesney Brown, can now pick up some groceries or Argos orders quickly and easily on The Street! ".
