Sainsbury’s has opened a new ‘Local’ store in London’s Hampstead.

Spanning 1,938  square feet, the Hampstead High Street Local will open from 7am to 11pm seven days a week and sell a selection of  food and non-food products from Sainsbury’s convenience range. This will include fresh food, fruit and vegetables, meat-free options and grocery staples, as well as  sandwiches and ‘food to go’.

In addition, fresh bread and pastries will be baked every day in the store’s bakery and customers will also have the chance to pick up a hot drink from the self-service Costa Coffee machine.

Sainsbury’s engaged with local residents, councillors and community groups throughout the store’s planning process to enable them to provide feedback on the proposals and make requests, which included the instillation of a defibrillator. The new shop also features an Argos Click & Collect point to enable  customers to order Argos, Habitat and Tu Clothing products online before collecting them in-store.
