A brand-new Tesco Express, which will serve thousands in the local community, has announced it’s opening 10 minutes from Reading town centre.
The store is set to be located in the heart of Bankside Gardens, Green Park providing a range of products and services including a bakery, Costa Coffee Express machine, meal deals and lottery tickets.
This joint venture between Berkeley Group and M&G Investments aims to provide a more convenient shopping experience that is walking distance from nearby homes.
TBC Tesco spokesperson said: “We’re hugely excited to be opening our new Reading Green Park Express to help support the community. The store opening will provide a real boost for Reading, helping to employ and train local people, and it’ll be a pleasure to see our colleagues grow and develop. We are really looking forward to welcoming so much new talent and experience into our Tesco team.”
Local community groups are invited to apply for Tesco’s blue token voting scheme which sees three local projects voted on by customers in store every three months, with first place awarded £1,500, second place £1,000 and third place £500.
Paul Vallone, Executive Chairman, St Edward, said: “We are very pleased to have a fantastic British brand like Tesco on our development. Residents have the enviable convenience of being able to pick up a sandwich or weekly food shop just a few minutes’ walk from their own front door.”
The adjacent Reading Green Park station is due to open in summer 2023 and will offer speedy connections to Reading in just 6 minutes.
