The opening date for Freshwater's new Tesco store has been revealed.
The supermarket, which is taking over Southern Co-Operative at the Afton Road site, will open on March 24.
More than 60 people are joining from the former Co-op, which closed in February, and another 70-plus roles are being created, Tesco said.
In addition to providing a wide range of fresh food, ready meals and other supplies, the new store will stock items from a number of local suppliers, including the Isle of Wight Tomato Stall.
Facilities at the new store include a Post Office and EV charging points in the car park which will be free to use for Tesco customers.
Kevin Smith, Store Manager, said:
“I’m incredibly proud that the newest Tesco store will be opening in Freshwater and I look forward to opening our doors and welcoming all the familiar faces.
“Our colleagues in stores are the heartbeat of Tesco and their local knowledge and commitment means that we can serve customers, communities and the planet a little better every day.”
The store will be running all Tesco’s community programmes, which provide grants and food donations.
Stores across the Isle of Wight have already donated more than 209,000 meals to foodbank charities and community groups.
The new store will also feature Tesco’s Clubcard scheme, helping customers to access savings on their weekly shop
It will be open seven days a week, 7am to 10pm, Monday to Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sundays.
