A SUPERMARKET chain has opened its second store in Newport.

The Food Warehouse, part of the Iceland Food Groups, has invested more than £750,000 in bringing a brand-new Food Warehouse store to the Newport Retail Park on Spytty Road.

Newport's first The Food Warehouse store – based in Maesglas – opened in 2018 and the new Spytty-based 10,114 sq ft supermarket opened its doors last week, creating 20 new jobs, employing 30 existing Iceland colleagues, and offering shoppers the value of a wholesale store without the need for membership.

Operations director for The Food Warehouse, Kristian Barrett, said: “We’re delighted to have opened another new store in Newport.

“The Food Warehouse is an innovative store format, responding to the changing needs of shoppers by offering amazing bulk-buy deals and homeware offers alongside a fantastic range of frozen, fresh and chilled foods.”

The site was previously home to an Iceland store but now following a full refurbishment the shop offers bulk buying and additional choice.

Luke Cain, who is manager of the new Spytty store, said: “Our opening day was a great success and the whole team has really enjoyed meeting people from our local community.”
