A new Sainsbury’s store in the city has unveiled when it will open to the public.

Sainsbury’s Local store at 100 to 104 Church Road, in Hove, will officially open on December 12 at 7am.

An initial planning application was withdrawn after people raised concerns about noise and deliveries.

But a new application promising that products would not be delivered to the back of the store was subsequently given the green light in August last year.

It will be the 12th Sainsbury’s branch in Brighton and Hove.

The site has been empty since September 2022. It was previously Organic Earth, and before that Four Seasons which took over from Cullens.
