SUPERMARKET giant Tesco has announced that its new Tesco Express store in Ludgershall will open its doors to the public on 7 February.

The shop will replace the existing One-Stop outlet which shuts on 8 January - three days after post office services close at the branch.

Tesco has taken on the staff from the One Stop store and over the coming weeks will recruit additional staff to work at the new Tesco Express. Anyone interested in working at Tesco Express can telephone the recruitment hotline on 01707 295332.

A spokesman for Tesco Express said: "Tesco have recognised the need for quality, convenient shopping outlets and Ludgershall is one of the areas that will benefit from Tesco's latest investment programme."

The store will offer over 3,000 product lines with extensive fresh and chilled ranges including fruit and vegetables and ready meals along with frozen food, tinned products, cereals and pasta sauces.

Shoppers will also have access to a non-chargeable cash point machine.
