Iceland Foods has officially opened a brand-new The Food Warehouse store in Plymouth, with over 80 customers eagerly waiting in line from 4:30am for the store to open its doors.
The highly anticipated new store, situated at Plymouth Gateway Retail Park, opened to the public on Tuesday 18th June, bringing with it an estimated 23 additional jobs to the local community.
To celebrate the grand opening, Iceland’s Plymouth store gave away £1,000 worth of store vouchers to the first 100 customers in the queue as well as a free 900g tub of Jellybeans to the first 200 customers through the checkout.
Alongside this, every customer who joined the queue before 7:45am on Tuesday morning received a free raffle ticket which saw three winners take home a Tower Panini Maker, two more receive a Tower Slow Cooker and an additional two customers win a Tower 4 Litre Air Fryer.
Three other lucky shoppers also won the chance to take part in a 90 second supermarket sweep-style trolley dash around the entire empty store, filling their trolleys for free.
Jonny Shattock, Store Manager at Plymouth The Food Warehouse, said: “We’re so pleased to welcome Plymouth shoppers to our brand new The Food Warehouse store. Everyone was so excited for the grand opening – people were even in the queue from 4:30am this morning!
If you haven’t been down yet, make sure to check out our brand-new store and get your hands on some unmissable bargains!”
Kristian Barrett, Group Retail Director at Iceland Foods, added: “We’re thrilled to have opened our new Plymouth store, ensuring even more local residents can get their hands on market-leading deals, alongside a brilliant range of frozen, grocery and fresh foods.”
The new The Food Warehouse store in Plymouth will offer multi-buy offers, like 3 for £3, 3 for £5 and 3 for £10 deals, alongside exclusive The Food Warehouse ranges such as Slimming World, Cathedral City, TGI Fridays and more. Customers can find further Iceland offers such as these on the Iceland Bonus Card app.
