ICELAND Foods has announced it will be opening a brand-new The Food Warehouse store in Yeovil this November.

The store, located at Yeovil Retail Park next to Argos, will officially open to the public on Tuesday, November 12. It will employ an estimated 22 people in the local community.

To celebrate the store opening, The Food Warehouse will be giving away £1,000 worth of The Food Warehouse vouchers to the first 100 customers in the queue, plus a free tray of Ferrero Rocher to the first 200 customers through the checkouts.

With an Iceland store already located at Quedam Shopping Centre, the launch of a new The Food Warehouse store in the area will ensure that even more local residents have access to market-leading deals and big-brand products.

The Food Warehouse was introduced in 2014, with stores often double the size of traditional Iceland stores, offering a much larger range of goods and bigger packs for even better value.

Stores are designed to look like a warehouse, with wide shopping aisles and large spaces – offering the perfect environment for customers to buy their favourite products. 
 
Every customer in the queue before 7.30am on November 12 will be given a raffle ticket which will see them entered into a free prize draw, with five lucky winners given the chance to take part in a supermarket sweep-style challenge.

Each customer will have the entire store to themselves for two minutes and will get to fill their trolley with whatever they’d like. 

Furthermore, just before the doors to the new store open at 7.50am, additional winners will be drawn for the further 10 prizes on offer, x3 Tower 2-in-1 Blender and Grinders and x7 Tower 4 Litre Air Fryers. 

Customers will also be invited to guess how many sweets are in the jar for a chance to win a free Daewoo Double Drawer Air Fryer.  

Kristian Barrett, Group Retail Director at Iceland Foods, said: "We’re very excited to be opening our new Yeovil store, ensuring even more local residents can get their hands on market-leading deals, alongside a brilliant range of frozen, grocery and fresh foods. 

"We’re hard at work getting everything set up and ready to go and we can’t wait to open our doors to the local community.” 

The brand new The Food Warehouse store in Yeovil will offer multi-buy deals, like 3 for £3, 3 for £5 and 3 for £10 deals, alongside exclusive Food Warehouse ranges such as Slimming World, Cathedral City, TGI Friday’s and more.

The store opening also coincides with Iceland’s 10% discount for all customers over 60, available every Tuesday across stores. Customers can find out information about further offers from Iceland on the Bonus Card app.

The Yeovil store will be open Monday to Saturday from the November 12 onwards from 8am to 9pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
