Sainsbury's Superstore opens in Redhill
A significant milestone for the town centre
 
Sainsbury's Superstore

The new Sainsburys superstore three times larger than the old store, has created 150 extra jobs. The store has an extended clothes and homeware offering as well as fresh sushi and Argos onsite. 

 

A key part of the redevelopment has been the significant upgrade of parking facilities for the town centre. Around 900 car parking spaces are now available over three floors within the modernised car park, with travellators providing direct access into the Sainsbury’s store from the upper two car park decks. 

 

Councillor Mrs Natalie Bramhall, Executive Member for Property and Acquisitions at Reigate & Banstead Borough Council, said:

 

“It’s wonderful to see this landmark regeneration scheme for Redhill completed and open to the public. It is a significant milestone in making Redhill a thriving and prosperous town centre. The much-needed new Sainsbury’s store will vastly improve residents’ shopping choice locally, the gym and hotel are great additions to the town’s facilities for residents and businesses and the jobs created will give the local economy a boost. In addition, the public space improvements have created a modern, inviting town centre.”

 

The next significant phase in the town centre regeneration is the multimillion pound cinema complex planned for Marketfield Way, with new shops, family-style restaurants and 153 apartments. Construction is currently expected to start during 2018 and take approximately two years to complete.
