Sainsbury’s has shared why their York store closed and what’s next for the city, reassuring customers about their future plans.
York: Sainsbury’s recently explained why their Foss Bank store had to close. The supermarket shut its doors on January 11 after the lease expired. The landlord has other plans for the site.
They’re planning to build student housing, co-living spaces, and some retail spots. A spokesperson from Sainsbury’s thanked loyal customers for their support over the years. They also appreciated the kind messages received since the closure news.
They understand this change is tough for everyone involved. To help, Sainsbury’s is offering their staff chances to move to other roles within the company.
Looking ahead, Sainsbury’s is on the hunt for new locations in York. If anyone has a good suggestion, they’re encouraged to reach out to the company.
