A new Food Warehouse store in Shrewsbury has opened its doors to customers for the first time.
More than 100 people eagerly waited in line yesterday to enter the new store at Meole Brace Retail Park, which has created 24 jobs in the community. The Food Warehouse is part of the Iceland Foods Group.
Five other lucky Shropshire residents also won the chance to take part in a two-minute-long Supermarket Sweep-style trolley dash around the entire store, filling their trolleys for free.Store manager Tom Stedman said:"We're so pleased to welcome Shrewsbury shoppers to our brand new The Food Warehouse store. Everyone was so excited for the grand opening - people were even in the queue from 5am this morning.
The Meole Brace store will be open from 8am to 8pm between Monday and Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sundays.
