News - Tesco Express Opens - 8th November 2004

Tesco Express opened in the early hours today, to bring a brand new convenience store to the village and passing visitors alike.

Four weeks, day and night, has witnessed the store fitters and Tesco Express staff, complete a total regeneration of the exiting building into a bright, opened space, fresh convenience store. With a name like Express, it's not surprising that this is Tesco's fastest growing format, and finished in time.

Lyneham's Tesco Express store is situated on the A3102 Calne Road, is the latest of Tesco's expansion scheme, opening at least 50 stores a year! It will meet customer demand for long trading hours and greater convenience. Express stores are aimed at local customers who want a convenient place they can trust to 'top up' their shopping or replace home essentials.

Lyneham Tesco Express is a single unit of up to 1800 sq. ft, stocking well over 2500 lines, including fresh and frozen food, pre-packaged foods, a bakery and wines and spirits. The store will follow the national trend of being very busy and it's a very fast-moving, hands-on environment.

We took the welcomed opportunity to be the first to have a view at the major changes which have been carried out during the refurbishment before the store officially opens to Lyneham at 6am..

To complement the fresh, open airy feel to the store, there is a wide range of fresh meat, ready made meals, sandwiches and drinks available..

Fresh fruit and vegetables are displayed in easy-to-get-to shelving and a new in-store bakery will provide oven fresh bread, rolls and other bakery items.

   

Brian, the Store Manager, enthusiastically welcomes all the Lyneham community to this bright and resourceful new store and has stated that "all Lyneham people are most welcome to visit this refurbished store and experience the new facilities offered"..

The early morning opening has followed many hours hard work, by all the staff, to bring a better facility for the village.. The longer trading hours - 6am to 11pm, seven days a week will ensure that you shouldn't go without any of your household goods, soft drinks, newspapers, magazines, lottery, cigarettes, confectionary or wines and spirits. Alcoholic drinks are available during normal liquor licence trading hours..

Lyneham Village Online would like to openly welcome the staff to Lyneham and wish their business every success in the future.. We pass on our thanks to the staff and gladly accept Brian's welcome to this brand new refurbished convenience store..
