Further to our previous report, Tesco has confirmed its main store is expected to reopen at the end of May on May 24.
It’s being refreshed with new units, fixtures, fittings and redecoration.
Meanwhile a temporary store, that’s “slightly smaller than the usual Express but [which] will still offer a good range of essentials” is to open on the site at the end of this week from May 4 at 8am until May 16 at 6pm.
A Tesco spokesperson said: “We’re pleased to be refreshing and upgrading our Southampton Cobden Avenue Express store to offer an even better experience for our customers. To allow the works to take place the main store building is temporarily closed, however to make sure we’re continuing to serve the community we are opening a smaller temporary store at the site for essentials. The temporary store will open at the end of this week and we expect to reopen the main store at the end of May. We apologise for any inconvenience for our customers during these works.”
