A new Tesco Superstore is set to open on the Isle of Man, with a £1,000 funding boost to the Manx Breast Cancer Support Group.
The Onchan superstore is the sixth of nine new stores set to open on the island this year following Tesco’s acquisition of Shoprite.
The store will include products from local Manx suppliers as well a small clothes section offering school uniform.
The new Tesco store is located at Village Walk in Onchan will open on August 22 at 8am.
Its opening hours will be 8am to 11pm Monday to Saturday and 9am to 6pm on Sunday.
Tesco in the Community
Over the last seven years, the supermarket’s customers on the Isle of Man have helped to nominate worthy recipients of grants totalling £217,504 for 109 groups and good causes through its blue token voting scheme, Stronger Starts.
Store Director Andy Sanderson said: “After a short break, getting the next batch of stores ready we’re pleased to be opening our sixth store on the Isle of Man. Opening a new large store is always exciting and challenging and we hope this new store plays a key role in the local community that have been so welcoming to us.
“We’ve worked in close partnership with local suppliers and the Isle of Man government to ensure we can provide the best service to our customers with great products and value.
“Over the course of the store openings there’ll be around 280 new jobs created and we want to continue to have a positive impact in the local community through Stronger Starts and food donation programmes.”
Any local groups that would benefit from Tesco Stronger Starts funding are encouraged to apply here.
