Opening date is announced for new Tesco Express store in Chesterfield town centre

Tesco Express will welcome its first customers through the doors on High Street this Thursday, February 19, at 8am. The new store replaces the old Chesterfield Pavements Tesco Express which is closing on February 18.

James Morrell, store manager, said: “We are extremely excited to be opening our new store and helping to serve the local community. We want to offer great value to our customers and the benefits of Tesco Clubcard and Clubcard Prices.”

With customers increasingly looking to save money on their food shop, this store will have a combination of Aldi Price Match, Low Everyday Prices and Clubcard Prices to ensure they are getting the best deals every time they shop.

As well as providing a wide range of great value food, the new store will feature Tesco’s community programmes making a difference across the local area through grant funding and food donations to local charities and groups.

The supermarket’s customers have already helped donate thousands of pounds in grants to projects in the local area through its Stronger Starts blue token scheme. Any local groups that would benefit from Tesco Stronger Starts funding are encouraged to apply here: https://tescostrongerstarts.org.uk

Since its launch in 2015, the Community Food Connection programme has donated thousands of meals to local charities in the area. The scheme, run in partnership with food redistribution charity FareShare, supports local groups and charities by donating surplus food free of charge to help them feed people who need a little extra help.

The new store will have a permanent food donation point where customers can donate long life items to help those most in need in the local community through Tesco’s charity partners FareShare and Trussell.

Each month more than a million meals of food are donated under the Community Food Connection programme. To find out about the scheme, please visit: https://www.tescoplc.com/sustainability/product/food-waste/supporting-customers-communities/community-food-connection/

Tesco Express at 2-8 High Street, Chesterfield, will open from 7am to 10pm Monday to Sunday.
