The St John Street store has replaced the pre-existing one on Bessingby Way and will be run by store manager Stuart Armstrong, along with a team of 31 colleagues from the local community.
Bronze medallist Nile Wilson gave away complimentary bags of fresh fruit and vegetables to the first 30 customers in the queue before delivering an inspirational assembly for pupils at Bay Primary School as part of the supermarket’s Get Set to Eat Fresh initiative.
